Playa San Diego
A long strip of beach east of La Libertad with finer sand than Tunco. It is good for walks and sunsets, and it is quiet with few people.
Playa San Diego is a flat gray-sand beach several kilometers long. Unlike the cobblestone and rocky coastline around Tunco, its sand is fine and soft. Private holiday homes and small guesthouses line the shore, and it is usually very quiet on weekdays. It is good for long walks, horseback riding, and watching the sunset. The waves are beach breaks, but the rip currents are strong, so take extra care when swimming. The beach is about 6 km from La Libertad and roughly 25 minutes by taxi from Tunco. Facilities on the sand are limited, so bring drinking water and sunscreen, and avoid walking alone after dark.
