Best Beaches - Nicaragua

Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are in Nicaragua. My personal favorite is Playa el Yankee, located on the Pacific coast south of San Juan del Sur.

central surfing

Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Even though I don't personally surf, the beach and town were awesome, with wonderful weather and cheap prices. We also met a whole crew of professional surfers from Australia who had come to that part of Panama specifically to enjoy the acclaimed beach waves.

Ever tried Pochomil or San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. If you want lake beaches how about Ometepe in Nicaragua also, there are several beaches there.

Caye Caulker

Tiny little island with the best vibes. The beach is white sand, water is totally clear, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. It's a little trek out of the way but completely worth it.
