The friendly fishing town of San Juan del Sur is located on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast. The town's horseshoe-shaped bay is now one of Nicaragua's main tourist destinations along with the colonial city of Granada, but despite its popularity it has not lost any of its charm and retains its identity as a small, sleepy fishing village.

It is set on a crescent shaped bay flanked by steep, rocky headlands covered in thick forest. Its main activity is fishing and numerous small local restaurants are set on the town's beach serving excellent fresh local seafood.

Although the town's beach is not the tropical idyll you may be expecting, overlooked by the new development projects in the area, there are plenty of pristine, empty beaches to explore further afield. El Coco, Chacocente, El Astillero and La Flor are some of the most beautiful and the coastline here is among the most picturesque in Central America.
