Best of Escuintla Guatemala’s Black Sand Beaches

Escuintla Guatemala’s black sand beaches can be places of deep chill, with hammocks and books and icy beverages, or they can be a plunging-into-waves, the power of the ocean roaring over your body, skin and hair and heart tingling with adrenaline. They can be laughter and games of tag and catching crabs, or sunset walks through salty foam.
