I share my raw and honest first impressions to answer the real question: is El Tunco worth visiting?

In this travel vlog, I explore El Tunco’s crowded surf scene, nightlife, restaurants, street food, and beach culture, reacting to everything from surf shops, yoga retreats, vegan cafes, and hipster-style venues to local experiences that changed my opinion as the day went on.
