Surf Beaches & Surf City
Complete Travel Guide

​a piece of paradise

​​The Salvadoran coast is one of the best-kept secrets in the global surfing world. From the legendary point break at El Tunco to the modern development of Surf City, this stretch of the Pacific Ocean combines world-class waves with coastal towns rich in great food, local art, and a laid-back vibe that captivates anyone who arrives thinking they are "just passing through."

You don’t have to be a surfer to enjoy it: the sunsets here are among the most photographed in Central America, and the selection of beachfront restaurants grows every year.
