From the airport in Manta (or bus stop) you can ask a taxi to take you to Santa Marianita beach. Or you can contact me and we can always find a ride to the beach.
Most accomodation, restaurants, stores (and night life) are in the city of Manta. Here you can find hotels from 5 star to hostals.
If you would rather prefer to stay at the beach, contact me and if I have the extra room available, you are welcome to join us.
Santa Marianita beach is located about 20 minutes south of the city of Manta.

Humboldt Kites Kiteboarding School is located at Santa Marianita Beach. A 4km sandy beach with consistent winds perfect for learning and all levels of riding.
Average wind for the season is 15 to 25 knots. (9m to 12m kites is what we use here).
Wind is side-onshore, choppy but no big waves from May to Oct. However, from Nov to Jan we get some big swells with windy days. Great wave riding at the southern most point of the beach.
Water is never cold enough to need a wetsuit.
Downwinders can be arrange to Manta, or longer ones to the Crucita beach.
Humboldt Kites offers equipment repair: damaged kites, bladders, lines, etc.
