The Insider's Guide to El Salvador's Pacific Beaches
El Salvador's Pacific coastline offers a remarkable variety of beach experiences within short private-transfer distances. El Tunco and El Zonte deliver dramatic black-sand shores and boutique cliffside stays. Los Cóbanos, in the west, is the country's only coral reef — calm turquoise water perfect for snorkeling. Playa El Espino stretches for kilometers of near-empty golden sand, while El Cuco in the far east feels like a hidden frontier of wide beaches and fresh seafood. Our private beach route stitches several of these together with curated boutique hotels, seafood tastings and unhurried sunsets.
