Beachfront is a luxury. El Salvador has 307 kms of coastline. Of that, not all are beaches since cliffs are also common in some areas. There’s 6.5 million Salvadorans in El Salvador, and roughly 2.5 million Salvadoran-Americans.
Just dividing the beach between people who live here 307 km = 191 miles. 191/6500000 = 0.0000293846 oceanfront miles per person, or roughly 1/8th of a foot of oceanfront property. Under 2 inches without counting Salvadorans abroad or foreigners.
We’ve found talking with many American investors that they find beachfront expensive, but being the most densely populated country in the mainland Americas, oceanfront property is very small. If you divide the USA coastline by the population, everyone gets roughly 19 inches of oceanfront to compare.
