Extremely consistent quasi-world class rock-bottom right point. Tends to be a favorite of San Salvadoran weekend warriors, so with a bit of tact and skill you can have your pick of waves even when it's crowded. On a solid swell it can hold up to 10 feet plus, peeling evenly along the rocks. A 30-minute bus ride from La Libertad costs less than a dollar American. Just look for the bus marked "El Zunzal."

La Libertad is full of good places to grub, but the Zunzal area offers little. Pack some food for the bus trip.

There are a variety of places to stay in La Libertad, but not much in the Zunzal area.
