what TO KNOW about it
- GENERAL INFORMATION
Discover El Palmarcito Beach:
Your Coastal Paradise in El Salvador
Located in the beautiful department of La Libertad, El Palmarcito Beach is a must-visit tourist destination. With its volcanic sand and calm waters, this beach is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Ideal for families and water sports enthusiasts, El Palmarcito offers a unique experience that combines natural beauty and exciting activities.
This fantastic place, despite not being one of the most popular spots compared to Playa El Tunco or Playa El Zonte, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and very special. The area could be divided into several sections: first, the cliffs, where you'll find some beach houses and a restaurant; then, there's the main public access road to the beach; then there's the Atami residential area and the impressive Escape Resort, possibly the largest hotel in the entire area, with more than 30 rooms available, three chlorinated pools, and its impressive seawater pools, making it one of the most special places. On the other side of the club is the private La Leona beach, a total paradise.
Visiting this place is highly recommended for young backpackers, seniors, families, and all types of visitors, as you'll find services for everyone, from very comfortable facilities to rooms for budget backpackers.
You'll also find several restaurants, not just the hotel restaurants with the best facilities, but also small places on the sand where you can find excellent seafood.
As for surfing, the waves at this beach, although not as consistent as others, are very suitable for beginners. The stronger swells are also suitable for advanced surfers, especially the right point, which breaks right at the cliffs and extends to the right for several meters. For advanced surfers, it's highly recommended to check the wave forecast when the waves are around 6 to 8 feet, and to visit during low tide. If you're looking for a local guide to help you in the water, or if you're looking for a surf instructor, please contact us.
And if you're thinking of staying here, you can expect a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere, fewer tourists than other more popular beaches, very little nightlife, a place mostly to relax, highly recommended for families or couples, since you'll have a much more private place with much more pleasant natural beauty.
