This beach is an acceptable option for those seeking a way to pass a day or two, whether in the company of loved ones or in solitude. It's not terrible, I suppose. And, if you're in a pinch, there's a lifeguard on duty to bail you out.

This particular beach in El Salvador didn't quite make it to my list of favorites, as it boasts a rocky terrain that may not be ideal for everyone's taste.
