San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur is a small beach town on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The food here is incredible, and the beach is beautiful, but you do have to watch out for petty crime. I highly recommend avoiding the beach at night due to crime.

Downtown

The downtown area in San Juan del Sur is one full of traditional Nicaraguan clothing and merchandise, as well as great views of mountains cascading into the ocean.

Sunset

Watching

Due to San Juan del Sur's unique location in the tropics and on the Pacific Ocean, it has some of the best views for sunset watching. I recommend eating at one of the restaurants on the beach for a great view of the water and a great seafood meal.
