Punta Sal is a coastal village located along the Pacific Ocean in the region of Tumbes, northern Peru.

[1] Due to its more equatorial location, the current of El Niño warms the surrounding sea and the local climate.

[1] Punta Sal's ample beaches, with whitish sands and blue warm waters have made this area a popular beach resort.

[1] Punta Sal is considered the longest beach in the northern Peruvian coast.

[1] Its 6.5 km of length are divided in two sectors: Punta Sal Chica (a slightly curved shore, encased between two small capes, with white sands) and Punta Sal Grande (a longer beach with less whitish sands).
