Content: El Salvador is the only Central American country that lacks a coastline on the Caribbean Sea
Out of the seven countries in Central America, El Salvador is the only one that doesn’t have a territory connected to the Caribbean Sea. However, what it does have is a coastline of roughly 190 miles on the Pacific Ocean. On a side note, all countries in the isthmus, except Belize, have a coastline on the ocean. 5. It has the lowest percentage of black population in Central America
People of African descent are a minority in Central America, representing below 10 percent of the population in every country except Belize and Panama. In El Salvador, however, they make up no more than 0.13 percent of the Mestizo-majority population, a fun El Salvador fact. Members of the Afro-Salvadoran community are descendants of the 10,000 African slaves who were brought to the country from mid-16 th century to early 17 th century. Unlike its neighbors, El Salvador barely has any English Antillean or Garifuna populations of the Caribbean. This is due to the fact that for around five decades, from the 1930s to the 1980s, the country had strict laws in place banning blacks and some other races from entering its territory. Hence, it is the only Central American country that lacks what you would call a “Caribbeanized culture.”
