What Guatemala’s beaches lack in attractiveness to rival the powdery-white sand of the shores of the Caribbean, it makes up for with rich biodiversity and rare features. The country’s Pacific Coast offers tourists a different experience of the ocean.

Montericco, one of Guatemala’s seaside villages, gives visitors a chance to witness sea turtles hatch from the sand and make their way back into the Pacific’s azure waters. El Paredon’s huge waves, on the other hand, make it a perfect destination for surfers looking to get stoked in Guatemala. And, if you haven’t been to beaches made out of black sand, the country’s Pacific Coast may be the perfect place to witness such rare beauty.
