El Zonte Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 22 photos

there is surf, surf and even more surf

We went to El Salvador to surf, and ended up on the little beach of El Zonte.
And we found there what we came for, waves. Big ones, and long ones.
And when we didn't like the waves there, we just went to other beaches, all at close distance.
Just had one of the best times there on all my travels, and we survided for $15US a day max (most days even less), so I am very sure I will be back one day

Ok, I'm jealous. Absolutely, such a place like El Salvador. Why I'm not brave enough to take all my money out of bank and buy a flight? Anyway, great pages. You have many interesting tips there.

It appears that the surf is much bigger as you head west along the coast. It was mild at Costa del Sol. Nice page!
