Pacific Coast of Nicaragua
Beaches, surf, marine life and coastal villages between volcanoes and the ocean
Nicaragua’s Pacific coast stretches from the Gulf of Fonseca in the north to the Costa Rica border in the south. Easily accessible from Managua, it includes several of the country’s most popular beach destinations, such as San Juan del Sur, Popoyo, Las Peñitas and the Chacocente Nature Reserve. The region is known for its volcanic beaches and consistent waves that draw surfers from around the world. It’s also a prime area for sea turtle watching and artisanal fishing.
