Playa El Tunco
El Tunco, El SalvadorAbout Playa El Tunco
El Salvador's best-known surf beach, a stretch of black sand and rocks named after the pig-shaped rock ('tunco') just offshore. Consistent waves draw surfers from beginners to experienced riders, and the small village behind the beach has hostels, surf shops, bars and restaurants. Sunsets are spectacular; weekends are busy with visitors from San Salvador.
