El
Zonte

El Zonte, a small coastal town in western El Salvador, is nestled along the Pacific Ocean in the department of La Libertad. Known for its rugged coastline and consistent surf breaks, it has become a haven for surfers, with waves suited to both beginners and advanced surfers. The town is part of the larger Surf City project, which aims to promote the region's beaches as premier surfing destinations. Despite its development challenges, El Zonte has a unique charm, often referred to as "Bitcoin Beach" due to its pioneering role in adopting Bitcoin as a local currency. This initiative helped lay the foundation for El Salvador's eventual adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. The town maintains a laid-back, bohemian vibe, with a small but tight-knit community and a growing influence in global conversations about Bitcoin.
