Workation in Montañita: the essentials
Hippies settled at this fishing beach on the Santa Elena coast in the 1960s, and surfers have kept coming since. Montañita now has a consistent beach break, a young international crowd and bars that stay loud from Thursday to Sunday, while quieter Olón lies just up the coast. Expect to work from your rented room. Guayaquil is about 180 km away and has far more flights than Manta's airport, about 100 km off. Ecuador's states of emergency over organised crime have reached the coast as well, so check current travel advice.
