‘Sunday Funday’ is the party institution of San Juan del Sur where revelers get their degree. Its location makes it a great base to explore the beaches in the south while providing access to restaurants and nightlife. The party here goes above and beyond with a blend of the local and international crowd. The most visited beach town in Nicaragua, San Juan del Sur, offers a place for everyone. Be warned: this is not a beach for beginners. Popoyo is the surfer’s headquarters, competition-level waves are a big draw for anyone who dreams of catching ‘the big one.’ There are a host of surf camps, giving the area an international community vibe. No flash photography is allowed and flashlights can only be used with red paper, which is provided.Ĭhase that ‘big wave’ at Playa Popoyo © James Parascandola / Shutterstock Playa Popoyo When turtle watching, remember you must follow all the rules laid out by the rangers as the area is protected. Turtle fans bypass luck and camp in La Flor for weeks to witness the rare event. Three thousand or more turtles arrive all at once. La Flor is one of the seven beaches in the world where you can experience a massive turtle nesting. The timing is related to the phases of the moon the crescent moon is when the turtles like to come out. Playa el Coco is a little over a mile (2km) away from Playa La Flor, one of the most important turtle sanctuaries in the country. It’s pretty common to take a night trip there and roll the dice in hopes of catching turtles nesting. Howler monkeys will be your morning alarm and urracas might steal your breakfast. And there’s an added bonus – the wildlife. Just south of San Juan del Sur and surrounded by thick jungle, Playa el Coco has probably one of the most kid-friendly waves and atmosphere in Nicaragua.
