Sunset Park – La Libertad
Where the ocean breeze meets carnival lights, Sunset Park is a coastal surprise tucked into El Salvador’s Surf City experience. Just steps from the crashing waves of La Libertad, this small amusement park offers something rare: thrill rides with a front-row view of the Pacific sunset.
Opened in 2022 as part of a revitalization effort, Sunset Park brings nostalgic fun to the seafront — a carousel spinning near the water’s edge, a mini roller coaster dipping and weaving, and a Ferris wheel that pauses just long enough to take in the glowing sky. It's the kind of place where families laugh over fried plantains and couples steal a kiss on the pirate ship’s swing.
But this isn’t just about the rides. Located in the heart of the La Libertad Tourist Complex, the park is surrounded by a bustling boardwalk, seafood stalls, and the iconic Mercado del Mar. It’s where the pulse of local life meets the rhythm of the waves — fishermen pulling in their catch at dawn, surfers carving lines by noon, and children squealing with joy by dusk.
Sunset Park might not rival the mega-parks of the world, but that’s exactly the point. It’s personal. Local. Perfectly placed. Whether you're wrapping up a surf session or seeking a pause between beach adventures, it’s a breezy, low-cost stop that reminds you why travel should always feel a little magical.
Open Thursday through Sunday. Ride tickets are just a few bucks each.
