La Libertad Pier
Only 35 Kms from San Salvador, La Libertad Pier
is found. It is the closest beach to the capital. The
old artesian dock dates back to 1579. The dock
was renovated by the Federal Congress of the
Central American Republics in 1824 for foreign
commerce on the Pacific coastline.
Currently, is an area that has many seafood and
fish restaurants; fresh caught fish can be bought at
the recently renovated dock, or enjoy a ceviche at
the market in front of the dock where the Ministry
of Tourism has opened an information desk.
La Libertad area has various beaches for surfing
that, although locals try not to divulge in them
everyday, there are more and more surfers coming
from the United States and other countries looking
for waves. The waves are present year round
thanks to El Salvador’s central location distant
from the Antarctic and Arctic storms which create
ideal surf waves upon arriving to Salvadoran
coasts.
Playa de la Paz (Punta Roca) –Peace Beach (Point
Rock) - has world class waves. Here is where
several surf championships are held, also it has
the infrastructure to accommodate restaurants, surf
instructors and surfboard rentals.
Playa el Tunco is another beach in the Department
of La Libertad very close to San Salvador (about 37
kms) that offers appropriate waves for surf lovers and

of options of diverse entertainment offered specially
from Thursday to Sunday. The area is known for live
music parties, specially “batucadas”. Restaurants,
Bars, Hotel , Hotel , Camping zones are all found
