For Surf City, you can take a bus on the main road just outside of the bus station in San Salvador. El Tunco is more touristic, if you prefer shops and all. Personally I prefer El Zonte. Fewer options, but good ones in terms of food. Way more options to spends sats. And more relaxed vibe, to my taste. But that was August, low season apparently. Ow yeah, along the coast itself, you can take a bus, Uber or perhaps rent a motor.

I agree with all of this.
The bus is frequent and easy. I stayed in El Zonte and took the bus every day. No idea why some are .50 and some are $1.50 but it says on the side plainly enough.
I like the vibe in El Zonte best but El Tunco is probably more fun for the 20-30 crowd.
A ~20 min cab ride to La libertad at night is about $30

"You'll find El Zonte to be very chill.El Tunco also has a relaxed vibe, but it gets much busier on the weekends. For shopping, El Tunco has a cool local store called Nekos Market and a dedicated smoke shop called Nomad."
