The Waves

     The greatest resource in El Salvador besides it's people, are the waves.  The 320 km of coastline throughout El Salvador has a series of headlands and rivermouths that has made it paradise for surfers.  There are surfable waves over 300 days a year and always warm water.  Some days are epic by anyone's standards.  World class poinbreaks, heaving barrels, long mushburgers, reefbreaks, beachbreaks and every other type of wave you want you can find within a 45 minute drive from our property.
The country is divided into two parts:  La Libertad and The Wild East.  Check out the map.  The breaks are listed below.  Click on the break to see detailed info and pictures.
