About this spot
Santa Marianita is the primary kitesurfing hub in Ecuador, located on the Pacific coast. The spot benefits from consistent southern trade winds that blow side-onshore, providing a safe and reliable environment for various skill levels.
The beach features a long sandy shoreline with a wave break that creates fun kickers for directional riders and twin tip boosters. The local scene is growing, with several schools and accommodations catering specifically to kiters.
