El Salvador is a surfing paradise

If you've never heard of El Salvador as a top surf destination, you may know that the World Master Surfing Championship was held in Punta Roca, one of the country's two best-rated wave points, in 2011. Not only can you surf in El Salvador all year without a wet suit due to the warm water, but you can also enjoy the unique length of the waves, which can reach 100-200 meters before breaking.

If you are a beginner, there are numerous surfing schools nearby, particularly in El Tunco, El Salvador's most popular beach town. A surfing lesson with an experienced instructor typically costs around $25 and includes board rental. If you plan on staying longer, you can always buy a used board from one of the town's surf shops. El Tunco is an excellent place to learn to surf if you are over 30 and no longer a young adult.

El Sunzal, Las Flores, and Punta Mango are also excellent surfing spots for those who already know how to ride the waves. By booking an all-inclusive surfing package from Hotel Mira Flores in Las Flores, you can combine luxury with learning to surf. It is definitely one of the reasons to visit El Salvador.
