We are tucked on the corner of a 40 mile crescent moon bay which ends at the point of Cabo San Francisco. From October to April it is a world class surfing point break wave. Mompiche is known as a romantic tranquillo beach. There is parking in front now and in the future there will be parking underneath the house. There is an airport in Esmeraldas with direct flights from Quito, Cali or Guayaquil. From Esmeraldas it is a 2.5 hour bus ride to Mompiche or 1.5 hour taxi. If arriving on bus from Quito or Guayaquil, take a bus to Esmeraldas and then from there take a bus to Mompiche. If arriving from the south beaches take a bus to Pedernales and then take a bus to Chamanga followed by a bus to Mompiche Entrada. Call me if you need any help! The surrounding area of Mompiche is green and beautiful. There are many islands near by to explore. When the waves are good here, there are no better waves. If there isn't a swell there is an enchanting black sand beach to head to that always has surf. Walking up the river brings you into a whole different world full of noisy monkeys, birds, toucans, parrots, in an exotic display of flora and fauna. Come check us out :)
