A long stretch of sand in La Unión, lined with palm trees and with low foot traffic.
La Unión Beach features a long stretch of sand lined with palm trees and dense vegetation, with mountains in the background. It is located on the Pacific coast, to the west of the Conchagua Peninsula, on the way to Intipucá. It receives fewer visitors than the surf beaches in the east, making it a peaceful option for strolling along the shore and watching the sunset.

Highlight
Palm Beach
Maculís belongs to the coastline of La Unión and for a long time remained outside the main tourist circuit of the east, which focused on the surf beaches and El Tamarindo. This low influx is now its main attraction: it retains the profile of a small-town beach, with palm trees reaching the sand and without dense hotel development.
It is one of the least crowded beaches in the east: great if you're looking for tranquility.
Limited services available: bring water and whatever you plan to consume.
Sunset is the best time, with the palm trees silhouetted against the light.
