San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific side of Nicargua, boasts a higher concentration of world class surf breaks than just about anywhere else in Central America as well as having some of the best Nicaragua surf camp options.

The main surf beach in town is Playa Maderas, a good wave for beginners to learn, yet there are sizeable waves out back for Intermediates to score all day. Due to being easily accessible it can get crowded. A lot of the surf camps will take you to off the beaten path beaches by 4x4.

The town is a cool mix of laid back surf shops, cafés with a great selection of restaurants from high end seafood, to mid range, to delicious taco shops. At night the place comes alive with a good selections of bars to hang out. The majority of locals working within the tourist and fishing industries. Expect to surf by day, relax in your hammock on the sand in between hitting the waves and enjoy cold beer and delicious fresh fish in the evenings!
