San Juan del Sur

After Michelle returned to the States, Ian and I headed from Granada down to the Pacific Coast for the weekend. San Juan del Sur is a small, touristy coastal town, the most popular place for accessing Nicaragua´s best beaches.

While in town, we stayed at the Casa del Oro, an easily place to meet fellow backpackers. There we had good seafood for dinner, swam in the ocean, and partied in the town´s hectic Saturday night scene. The next day we took a day trip up to Playa Maderas and Bahia Majagual. This is a very remote and beautiful stretch of coastline, ideal for surfing and swimming. As of yet, the infrastructure serving the area is very limited, and it´s possible to have a great deal of these white sand beaches, bordered on each side by interesting rock formations and wild forest, to yourself for the day.

We had a good time down in SJDS, and it was cool to soak of the scene there for the day or two.
