Surfing in Nicaragua

San Juan del Sur is a colourful and vibrant village on the Pacific coast in the south of Nicaragua. The variety of nice restaurants, bars and shops have transformed the village into a local hotspot. Here you can relax with a cocktail on the beach and enjoy the sunset. The bay is excellent to swim and surf and nearby you can spot turtles on Playa El Coco!

Near San Juan we booked a surf lesson at Playa Maderas. Unfortunately we were not very talented, but had a great time and the class was really cheap. Our teacher spoke excellent English and tried hard to get us stand up on the board! After this, our local Toña beer on the beach tasted even nicer!

Tip from Renee:

In San Juan there are many nice restaurants along the boulevard and the beach, but if you want something different, join a local fisherman and catch your own meal. Restaurants also prepare what you’ve caught and fish doesn’t get any better or fresher than this!
