El Tunco is a two-street town on the black sand of La Libertad, forty minutes from the airport. The point works most of the year and the strip runs from pupusa stands to rooftop bars, most of them taking cash and sats.
SurfCity keeps the record: 596 places across restaurants, hotels, surf schools, rentals, nightlife and wellness, plus what is on this week and what the swell is doing. No rankings, no reviews from us. Just what is here.
