A Remote Gem for Serious Surfers.
Tucked away near the surf town of El Cuco in eastern El Salvador, Playa Las Flores is one of the country’s most iconic right-hand point breaks. This beach has become a legend among traveling surfers for its clean, consistent waves and untouched tropical beauty. Far from the buzz of El Tunco or La Libertad, Las Flores offers a tranquil yet powerful surfing experience—perfect for intermediate to advanced riders looking for long, glassy rights.
The waves here are fast, smooth, and incredibly fun—offering rides of over 150 meters on a good swell. The best time to surf is during the green season (May to October), when southern swells roll in strong and steady. The rocky point shapes the waves perfectly, creating a rhythmic, almost hypnotic break that has drawn the attention of pro surfers and international surf camps alike.
Yet, what makes Las Flores truly stand out is the setting: lush jungle cliffs, black sand beaches, and the calming pace of life in the surrounding fishing communities. If you're lucky, you might have your dawn session with just a few locals and the sound of parrots overhead.
Whether you’re here for the waves or the wilderness, Playa Las Flores is a soulful reminder of what surfing used to be—raw, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature.
If you're planning a visit, Las Flores is easily reachable by road. Just follow Google Maps directions.
