Gulf of Fonseca
About Gulf of Fonseca
The Gulf of Fonseca is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean shared by El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. From the docks of La Unión and Los Coquitos, boat tours depart to Salvadoran islands such as Meanguera, Conchagüita, Zacatillo, and Martín Pérez. Along the way, you can observe volcanic landscapes, mangroves, beaches, and fishing communities, with the Conchagua volcano dominating the coastline.
