    Nice beach with great surfing spots. Rocky, but can find a good seat to enjoy the sunset. Lot of beach restaurants around that serves western food. But come on you are in El Salvador, buy pupusa from local shop, get some pilsner beer and enjoy the sunset with local families coming to visit.

    The beach and town are good. The reason for the 4 stars is that there are way too many rocks here. The stay is not cheap. There are only a few hostels and they’re like $17 dollars per night. The food is pretty good and the party is good during the weekend only. The other days is kinda boring the nightlife.

    Fell in love with this beach today. Came here on a whim and stayed longer than we expected. Great food, amazing food, good souvenir shops. Great place for the entire family. We’re already planning our next trip to come back.

    This beach has evolved in the last couple of years, but probably returning to its most probable course of development. This area was popular prior to the civil war, and now you see people rediscovering. My only concern is that these beautiful locations will soon be too expensive for the locals.

    Very touristy. Lots of surfers. And very crowded. There are lots of little restaurants and places where you can shop for trinkets and souvenirs. Night life is very active there with quite a few bars. Not a beach to go swimming though, very dirty in some areas and lots of rocks.

    such a different type of beach. Great spot to spend a half day enjoying the view while sipping on a margarita OR spend a day or more discovering the little spots that make this place a good attraction. There is not much beach to enjoy. As a matter of fact, it is very rocky. But this is what also makes it unique. lots of small stores and tourists. Reminds me a bit of Panajachel in Guatemala.

    Very neat experience. Surf city is beautiful and the people were very friendly! The beach was under a little cleaning work and the power lines were being replaced when I went but that was the only disappointment. Would definitely recommend going on weekends!

    Everybody says a beautifull playa...there is no playa. There are only big pebble stone playas and the waves are only fun for surfers. The hotels are very expensive. So if you dont have a bunch of money and dont like surfing ore big pebble Stones to sun bath there is realy no reason to go to El tunco beach!!!!!

    Small tight streets, boutique style stores and a definite surfer vibe, that is enjoyable. We felt safe and secure, especially with roving police and security patrols. Lots of food and drink options at various price points available. As for the beach itself...well it's a surfers beach with dark sand and good waves. Most hotels here don't have large pools or any at all.

    Tourist trap! You paid for parking in any area to get to restaurants and hotels, this place its good for surfers or hanging out for drinks, swimming its not good there there are a lot of round rocks in area but the view its excellent.

    My favorite place in all El Salvador for music, food and party as well as options to stay the night. There's lots to do and see for the area and it's very safe. It's also easy to find an Uber that can take you close by but it gets harder at peak hours of the night. Prices are above average because it is a popular tourist location but still nowhere near north American prices.

    Me encantó esta playa. Muy linda para convivir con la familia y disfrutar,pero para bañarse hay muchas rocas... Beautiful beach to go with the family. Beautiful people, and hard working. Good food!! Great for surfing of course 😃. Absolutely gorgeous views. The only thing is the rocks, if you want to swim better be at a different beach. Majahual is beautiful to go in the water.

    Pretty cool destination. Wearing water sneakers is a must while visiting this beach. The nice warm waters are incredibly inviting but the small to large rocks may hinder your walking experience. Sunsets here are outstanding. There are some local bars and eateries close by which plus up this venue. Waves are rough so the water is not really for all ages. Getting here was a bit of a mission, especially if your driver has never been here. A couple of hand written signs guided us to dollar parking less than a block away from the main rock. This didn't really come up on the map so you almost have to know it exists. I'm not sure if these rocks are a must see, but if they are I recommend staying until sunset. You won't be disappointed.

    I was overwhelmed so many bars shops restaurants I had my first sweet pupusa there. Beach was ok great views a little rocky though.

    The beach boasts black volcanic sand and is a prime surfing destination. Fridays and Saturdays bring a lively party scene, with weekdays being more laid-back. There aren't a lot of family-friendly activities, but it's a good destination for surfing enthusiasts.

    One of the best tourist attractions in El Salvador, there are many stores and restaurants you visit, also the sunset here looks awesome from here, not the best beach to swim but other than that is really nice.

  • 5/5 Felix G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Brittany I. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view with fun nightlife. It may be difficult to get to the water because of the rocks but the warm water was worth it

  • 5/5 Olivier H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hit it 👍🏿! What a lovely beach! I found that it never got too busy which was really nice. It's wonderful to sit there and watch the sunset. There are lifeguards constantly watching and making sure everyone is safe. Watch out though sometimes the waves come in really quick in the evening. If you're going to do some surfing the waves crash differently then maybe you have experienced at home so be careful. Beautiful black sand beach where you can watch the surfers catch some waves and relax yourself.

  • 3/5 Leo C. 5 months ago on Google
    Restaurant was good, menu was good. Not an inviting sand beach. Full of rocks and painful objects on the feet. Picturesque surrounding trees and vegetation.

    Nice town beach, hostels and food at affordable piece. Night life in the beach.

  • 3/5 Matthew F. 6 years ago on Google
    Definitely a great spot for surfing if you’re into that. If you’re simply there to party the best time to go is Friday and Saturday. Other than that most of the days there are pretty uneventful but the prices for hostels are relatively inexpensive but the restaurant prices are kind of high. I would say it’s a place you can stay for a couple days but not very long unless you surf Or are interested in learning how to surf

    (Translated by Google) El Tunco beach, famous for its waves in which many national and foreign surfers enjoy this sport. There are several restaurants and clothing stores, such as hats, hats or sandals, bathing suits or calzonetas, etc. on the access street that takes you to the beach. You can share and taste with your family or friends in front of the sea in the different restaurants that are there. In front there is a rock, which abstractly resembles a figure of the tunco or pig. You can also collaborate, help or support the inhabitants of the place, either with the purchase of their handicrafts or horseback riding, etc. (Original) La playa El Tunco, famosa por sus olas en las que muchos surfistas nacionales y extranjeros disfrutan de este deporte. Hay varios restaurantes y tiendas de prendas de vestir, como sombreros, llinas o sandalias, trajes de baño o calzonetas, etc. en el calle de acceso que te lleva hasta la playa. Puedes compartir y degustar con tu familia o amigos frente al mar en los diferentes restaurantes que hay allí. Al frente hay una roca, que abstractamente se parece a una figura del tunco o puerco. También puedes colaborar, ayudar o apoyar a los habitantes del lugar, ya sea con la compra de sus artesanías o paseos en caballo, etc.
