"Surfs Up" Tunco Beach, El Salvador

Tunco Beach
     My Spanish Language friends & I took a local bus to one of the beautiful Pacific Coast beaches here in El Salvador. Its a 300km stretch of pristine tropical beaches with fantastic cliffs lined with palm trees.  There are no high rise hotels or Condos.  You can relax in a hammock or swim/surf in clean waters.  There are fishing villages where you can sit at an outdoor restaurant and enjoy fresh caught fish.  Tunco Beach is one of the most popular beaches for surfing.  Surfers from all over the world come here.  The atmosphere is friendly, and we stayed with a local Salvadoran couple who had a few rooms to rent.  We say here, "Todos es tranquilo!" (everything is tranquil!)

  1. Hola Mary Ann
    I am following your travels and experiences with great anticipation. I see you have some new pics and they tell a beautiful story. Your commitment to helping and working with people of that region is admirable. I trust your actual living conditions day to day are tolerable. Still no hot water? What is your living quarters like? How is working with the children? Guess i am more curious about your day to day. Good to know you are doing well. Looking forward to hearing from you. Is there any one thing you really miss there? Take care, adios chica regards Maura (Healdburg CA)
