An hour 45 minutes from San Salvador), this expansive strand with vigorous waves (more great surfing!) is part of a rich ecosystem covering 2,000 hectares (just under eight square miles) – especially mangroves and estuaries – also protected, under the terms of an international wetlands convention. So in addition to the usual beachy pursuits – which by the way include snorkelling, scuba, water skiing, and sailing – you can get some great ecotourism in, taking a boat tour through the mangroves; checking out nearly 80 species of birds; and during certain times of year witnessing the amazing site of mama sea turtles laying eggs and months later their babies hatching and racing to the water.There is, again, a good choice of places to overnight, and the local restaurants, unsurprisingly, specialise in seafood but also offer plenty of other options (including international fare).
