Workation in El Tunco: the essentials
Named for the pig-shaped rock just off its beach, El Tunco is a handful of lanes packed with surf hostels, cafés and bars on El Salvador's Pacific shore. Breaks such as Sunzal and La Bocana work year-round and bring a steady crowd of surfers, while the Bitcoin Beach community of El Zonte is just along the road. Coworking exists on a modest scale alongside laptop-friendly cafés. The sand is black and volcanic and gets very hot, weekends are loud, rooms for a month are limited, and from May to October afternoon storms are the norm. The international airport is about 35 km away.
