El Tunco beach - photos 1




El Tunco beach (Pacific Coast):

From San Salvador, we took a bus for Puerto La Libertad, which is well known by the surfers for its surf break. But our final destination was El Tunco beach. Dave and Neil, our Irish friends, were already here for a couple of days. We met them in front of the ATM in Puerto La Libertad, what a coincidence!!! We spent here 5 days in a hostel with a view on the beach and with swimming pool, playing cards, drinking some beers and eating pizzas (the 3 things the boys liked to do!!!). The surf was not great but Lee (and a little me too!) managed to get some "fantastic" pictures.

- The fish quay in Puerto La Libertad,
- The Playa El Zunzal, close to the Playa el Tunco, is recognizable by its rock and its pebbles. Surfers were enjoying some waves left of this stone and on the far right,
- Some surf!!! but the waves were pretty small and nothing during a couple of days. Obviously Lee was disappointed but we had good time with the boys so his despair was less apparent,
- Even if it is not very easy to see, the surfer is a little girl of around 7 years old. She was surfing with her dad and she was showing already good technique. A future champion perhaps...
