A small village in a beautiful bay

SAN JUAN DEL SUR

San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur is a small village located in the southwestern corner of Nicaragua just a few kilometers north of the Costa Rica boarder. Set against the prehistoric volcanic hills to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, the ambiance is truely magnificent.

View from the Beach San Juan del Sur is one of the most tourist minded places in Nicaragua. Friendly natives will gladly give you information and enjoy your presence (of course, spending your money there does not harm the local economy). Several restaurants along the beach and throughout the town provide an abundance of local foods and spirits. The view from the top of the surrounding hills is breathtaking and well worth the climb.

Fishing boats fill the ocean inlet and there are even some commercial fishing boats and sailboats that are available to rent. Sometimes it's fun just to go out and catch your dinner rather than merely buying fish and lobster from the incoming fishing boats!

Overnight and weekly accommodations are plentiful and the village would be an excellent vacation destination within easy driving distance to many Nicaragua attractions.
