A LUXURY VACATION TO NICARAGUA’S PACIFIC COAST
This 300-kilometre stretch of shoreline is known as the Emerald Coast. The Pacific comes to a thundering halt, resulting in some of Central America’s best surf breaks.
Waters are warm year-round providing a nesting spot for sea turtles, a star attraction of this coastline.
The town of San Juan del Sur in the south has 19th century houses and thatched-roofed restaurants, overlooked by a towering statue of Christ of the Mercy on the neighbouring hilltop.
The locals indulge in a lifestyle of hammock-siestas and sunset serenades by live merengue bands.
Infrastructure and communication have improved in recent years, but facilities and modern luxuries are scarce. What remains is quiet, authentic and undiscovered by tourists, but alive with local culture and wildlife. A honeypot for the curious and adventurous.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO ON THE PACIFIC COAST
The Nicaraguan Pacific Coast is a paradise for beach lovers, surfers, and nature enthusiasts. Stunning sunsets await.
Those keen to get out on the open water can spend the day on a catamaran, or deep-sea fishing on a private charter.
For a wonderful and worthy experience, participate in conservation efforts to protect the nesting sea turtles.
Mostly though, slide into the laid-back pace of a stunningly beautiful coastline, as yet well off the tourist trail.
Be it for active volcanoes, thick jungle, unspoilt beaches or charming colourful towns, Nicaragua is waiting.
