El Tunco, El Salvador
A small town 5 minutes away from La Libertad filled with many tourist surfers from the USA and Australia, rushing off to catch their morning waves. It was either tourists that were overly into surfing or some really cool and laid-back locals. There isn't much to do in El Tunco during the day unless you surf, otherwise you'll be getting ripped off and paying $15 to use the pool at one of the hotels on the beach -the waves in the beaches were too strong and dangerous to swim in. None the less- it is a beautiful place to visit, to enjoy the most delicious street pupusa's, cheap seafood and drinks, with a more than fun nightlife of live music, Batucada to be exact with a fire show and dancing. Tons of people come out to the beach with coolers of alcohol and just drink all night by the ocean, while listening to the live music.
