Punta Sal is a large beach resort area in Punta Sal, only a half hour from Mancora, on the northern coast of Peru, and a growing hot vacation spot for the water or beach enthusiast, or someone who just wants to relax and eat great seafood. Shrimp, lobster and fish are the staple here. The Pacific waters are warm and the sandy beaches are long, white and incredibly beautiful. Fishing, swimming, surfing, water-skiing, yachting and canoeing are all great pastimes to enjoy here. Nearby is the famous Caleta de la Cruz de Pizarro, where Conquistadores landed more than 400 years ago to begin the conquest of Peru, as well as Hemingway’s favorite fishing spot, Cabo Blanco. The nearby village of Mancora has great seafood restaurants right on the beaches as well. Acces is either via excellent bus service from Lima to Mancora or by plane to Punta Sal.
