San Juan del Sur
San Juan del Sur is a cheerful beach town on Nicaragua's Pacific coast, wrapped around a horseshoe bay. Fishing boats bob in the water while a giant statue of Jesus watches over the town from a hill.
The town is loved for its golden sunsets, gentle swimming bay, and nearby surf beaches. It has a happy, laid-back feeling with seafood shacks and colorful streets right by the sea.

Golden Sunsets
Because the bay faces west, evenings light up the sky in orange and pink over the calm ocean water.

Beaches Nearby
Sandy beaches like Maderas and Hermosa are a short ride away, great for building castles and learning to surf.

Sea Turtles
Nearby beaches are nesting grounds where sea turtles come ashore to lay eggs, and tiny babies later scurry to the sea.
