About Playa El Cuco

Considered one of the favorite destinations in eastern El Salvador, El Cuco beach is a place you cannot miss because of its beauty and attractions. It is located 170 kilometers from San Salvador, in the department of San Miguel, and stands out for its very long black volcanic sand beach, where a fun activity in itself is to take a trip to collect its multiform and multicolored shells. The swell in this part of the country is gentle and steady. It invites you to take a dip in its refreshing waters, especially after sunbathing, playing a game of soccer or volleyball.
