User reviews
"This beach, located in the department of Usulutan, is one of the most stunning and lesser-known ones in the area. It is situated near Las Flores and El Cuco beaches, which are part of San Miguel. Although there is no tourist infrastructure, the beach itself is a natural gem. You'll feel like it's your own private paradise since only locals tend to visit."
