Click here for San Juan del Sur Hotel Reviews
San Juan del Sur is a scenic fishing village at the head of a horseshoe bay. The peaceful southern Pacific coast has dramatic sunsets, rolling ocean waves and tranquil beauty. Sea turtles are still regular visitors to these stretches of beach and one of the most popular nesting sites – ‘La Flor’ – is within easy reach. Great surfing, diving and snorkelling can be found nearby, and the sport fishing and sailing are world class. Kayaking, mountain biking and horse riding are also possible. Otherwise do nothing at all and relax in one of Nicaragua's most beautiful areas. You can reach San Juan del Sur by car from the capital in 3 hours or just 1.5hours from Granada. With San José only 45 minutes’ flight away it also combines well with Costa Rica. THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN SAN JUAN DEL SUR:Turtle Nesting ‘La Flor’ Wildlife Reserve. Half day.
