El Zonte Adventure: Coffee, Caves, & The Ultimate Beach Escape in El Salvador 🌊

Welcome to another immersive travel episode! This time, I’m taking you to El Zonte, a breathtaking black sand beach town on El Salvador’s Pacific coast. Known for its epic surf, Bitcoin Beach, and laid-back vibes, this place offers both adventure and relaxation.

But my trip had an unexpected twist—Tropical Storm Sara followed me, making for some wild weather! Despite the rain, I explored stunning coastal landscapes, indulged in incredible local coffee, and found the perfect place for $1 pupusas.
