San Juan del Sur
San Juan del Sur is a small, charming fishing town on a spectacular half-moon sandy bay on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The town has good connections to the capital city Managua and the colonial town of Granada and has emerged as the premier tourism destination on the Pacific.
Famous for its views, sunsets and surfing
The dramatic hills surrounding the bay offer beautiful ocean views and the western orientation of the town provides perfect vantage points for taking in the sunset. Small, private yachts, fishing boats and the occasional cruise liner dot the lovely bay. Fishing is still a mainstay of the economy here, although more and more San Juaneños are finding ways to get involved in the growing tourism activity in the region.
In and around San Juan del Sur, visitors find plenty to see and do. Numerous beaches await exploration, the scenery is superb and good surfing can be found nearby. There is a local canopy tour, and the sport fishing and turtle watching (particularly at La Flor to the south) are world class. Rent a fishing boat and catch your dinner yourself. But don’t worry if you don’t get lucky, you can always stop at one of the numerous beachside restaurants set right on the sand or splurge on some fine dining at la Cascada restaurant on the hill behind the town.
