A spectacular coastline of secluded beaches
Once a tranquil fishing village, San Juan del Sur has blossomed into one of Nicaragua's premier beach destinations along the southern Pacific Coast.
Fortunately, the town has retained its original charm and laid-back ambiance, preserving the allure that first captured hearts. The surrounding area continues to exude untamed beauty and tranquillity.
Nestled within a picturesque half-moon bay, the town offers ideal conditions for swimming, complemented by a selection of hotels and restaurants lining the waterfront. Serving as a perfect base, San Juan del Sur enables exploration of lesser-known beaches, many of which offer excellent year-round surfing opportunities and activities such as snorkelling, diving, sailing, whale-watching, and zip-lining depending on the season.
Venturing north to the Tola region, often hailed as the "Nicaraguan Riviera" or "Emerald Coast," unveils an idyllic sanctuary with secluded Pacific beaches and breathtaking coastlines, still relatively untouched by development. Encircled by verdant hills, these pristine beaches and serene bays offer respite from the bustling crowds, while inland forests teem with diverse wildlife.
Renowned for its world-class waves, the region draws avid surfers, while opportunities abound for horseback riding, hiking, fishing, birdwatching, and marine turtle observation. In this haven of natural splendour and tranquillity, visitors can immerse themselves in pure relaxation and exploration, savouring the untouched beauty of Nicaragua's southern coast.
