 DESCRIPTION
• THIS BEACH, WHICH HAS AN ALMOST PERFECT "U" SHAPE, IS SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS. HERE,
VISITORS CAN FIND ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS BEACH TOWNS OF THE COUNTRY: SAN JUAN DEL SUR. THE
SAND OF THIS BEACH IS NOT WHITE AS THE ONE WE CAN FIND IN THE CARIBBEAN, BUT IT CLEARER THAN IN
THE PACIFIC.

• BOAT RIDES TO VISIT NEIGHBORING BEACHES, SPORTS FISHING, DIVING, MARINE PHOTOGRAPHY, WALE
WATCH, CANOPY TOURS AND A HECTIC NIGHTLIFE IS FOUND IN THIS DESTINATION. SWIMMING IS
POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE TRANQUIL WATERS, BUT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
BOATS ON THE BAY.
• THE TOWN OF SAN JUAN DEL SUR IS LOCATED ON THE SHORELINE. THE
MUNICIPALITY HAS BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE THE TOURIST
INFRASTRUCTURE, MAKING IT ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE DESTINATIONS OF
THE COUNTRY. VISITORS CAN ENJOY A GREAT VARIETY OF SEAFOOD WHILE
BEING IN A RESTAURANT NEXT TO THE SEA, AND THE WARMTH OF THE
VARIOUS HOTELS OF THE AREA.

• IN ADDITION, SAN JUAN DEL SUR HAS THE FACILITIES OF A TYPICAL SMALL
TOWN: SHOPS, POSTAL OFFICE, INTERNET, HEALTH CENTERS, LANGUAGE
SCHOOLS, POLICE STATIONS, WORKSHOPS, AMONG OTHERS.

HOW TO GET THERE
• IF YOU ARE TRAVELING IN YOUR OWN VEHICLE, YOU MUST TAKE THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO
RIVAS. AFTER PASSING THE CITY, YOU MUST CONTINUE UNTIL REACHING THE CROSSROAD

FROM THERE, TURN RIGHT AND FOLLOW THE 18 KMS THAT SEPARATES THIS POINT AND
SAN JUAN DEL SUR.

• IF YOU ARE USING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, TAKE A BUS TO THE CITY OF RIVAS. ONCE YOU
GET TO THE MUNICIPAL MARKET, TAKE ANOTHER BUS THAT WILL LEAVE YOU IN SAN JUAN
AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES. IN MANAGUA YOU CAN FIND DIRECT BUSES TO SAN JUAN DEL
SUR IN ROBERTO HUEMBES MARKET TERMINAL.
