general information

Probably the most popular beach in Guatemala for travelers and also the closest to Guatemala City. This stretch of coast has numerous black sand beaches that contain punchy beach breaks that tend to close out or give a fast short ride. The bathymetry here here falls off very steeply close to the coast and produces waves that jack up quite steeply.
