The beach is a bustling hub for the locals of El Salvador. It is a public beach that offers a variety of restaurants and vendors selling refreshing sorbets and minutas. The sunset here is truly breathtaking and the water is crystal clear, making it ideal for swimming.

Having not set foot on this beach in over 15 years, I must say my return was a disappointment. The cleanliness I once remembered has greatly deteriorated, leaving me feeling uneasy and disgusted. The cheap eateries and entertainment options may be appealing to some, but the quality leaves much to be desired. The cocktails and small bites were mediocre at best. Even the company of my family couldn't salvage my experience, as the overall atmosphere was lackluster and unenjoyable.

The tranquility of this beach was palpable, and I felt completely at ease. The sand was a striking black hue, a result of the nearby volcanoes. The waves were impressively large, crashing against the shore with a powerful force. I was delighted to find my favorite coconuts available at this beach. Walking along the shore was a pleasant experience, as the beach was not crowded during my visit.

This particular beach in El Salvador is renowned for its crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming. The temperature of the water is pleasantly warm, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing dip. The beach is a favorite among the local community, and it is not difficult to see why. With a plethora of restaurants and bars situated right on the sand, visitors can enjoy a delicious meal or a refreshing drink while basking in the sun. Overall, this beach is an excellent choice for those looking for a fun and relaxing day by the sea.

I have a deep affection for this beach, as it was a cherished spot from my childhood. After many years, I returned today and was delighted to find that it still holds its charm. The dark sand and crystal clear water make it one of the finest beaches in the vicinity of San Salvador, perfect for those who want to take a refreshing dip and revel in the ocean. I strongly suggest this beach for families and swimming enthusiasts alike. 🏊‍♀️
