Beach volleyball is a popular sport throughout the Santa Elena Peninsula, especially in Salinas and Montañita. The flat, firm sands of the main beaches provide ideal conditions, and both casual and competitive play can be found year-round.
Best Locations
Chipipe (Salinas) has permanent beach volleyball nets set up along the beachfront. This is the main venue for organized tournaments and regular pickup games, especially on weekends.
Montañita main beach has nets and is popular with the international crowd — you'll often find impromptu games involving travelers and locals.
La Libertad beachfront occasionally has nets for community play.
Tournaments
Salinas hosts regional beach volleyball tournaments throughout the year, often organized by local sports clubs or the municipal government. These attract teams from across Ecuador and are worth watching if you're visiting on a tournament weekend.
Casual Play
For casual players, just show up at Chipipe or Montañita beach on a weekend morning. Games are informal and visitors are usually welcome to join in. Rental shops on the beach may have balls available.
