An unexpected storm surge alarmed visitors and residents of Garita Palmera beach, located in Ahuachapán, in the western part of the country, this Sunday afternoon.

The strong waves not only reached the stretch of sand, but also advanced until they hit the parking areas and arbors where several tourists were located, who were surprised.

According to the video, the phenomenon began suddenly, forcing those present to quickly abandon their recreational activities.

Authorities urged the public to stay informed and follow the safety recommendations of the Civil Protection Lifeguard teams in the area, as well as reports from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) in anticipation of future similar events.
