A world-class right-hand point break in eastern El Salvador. Fewer crowds than La Libertad, with a rustic and authentic atmosphere, artisanal fishing, and fresh seafood straight from the sea. "If you really surf and you already know La Libertad, make the trip east. Las Flores is a world-class right-hand point break with very few people in the water." For surfers seeking quality without the crowds, this is the answer. Playa El Cuco is 15 min away for total relaxation, and Punta Mango — with even purer waves — is 30 min away.
