Conchagua: La Unión Sur

Dramatic volcanic black sand and rugged rocky formations create a mesmerizing world of tidepools at this eastern coastal gem.

Soaking in the "salt pools," lounging by the waves, and watching the surf from the shade of rustic palm-thatched palapas are all irresistible pursuits at this beach.

A small pier allows you to charter a boat for a leisurely cruise or purchase the day's freshest catch from local fishermen. You'll discover an incredible variety of fresh seafood, including oysters and fish sun-dried on traditional bamboo racks.
