San Juan del Sur is a coastal town on the Pacific Ocean, in south-west Nicaragua. The town is a popular tourist location because of its many nearby and spectacular beaches. San Juan del Sur is also popular among surfers and is a vacation spot for many Nicaraguan families and foreign tourists. It really is a good, unspoiled alternative to Costa Rica.
The surf is, however, not in San Juan del Sur itself the waves are simply not big enough in town. We went to Madera beach about 10 km north of San Juan del Sur to surf. Madera beach is an incredibly beautiful and peaceful beach and when you dont surf you can suntan and go for long walks. Amazing.
This video gives you an idea about why Madera beach have become so popular it simply is a stunning place!!
I really want to learn to surf...it looks so freaking fun!

it is great for the locals to enjoy the added income, and nobody deserves it more, SJdS has jumped the shark! I was one of the first surf pioneers in Southern Nicaragua and it is very much better than when I first got there in 1993. But back then a Euro named The Flying Dutchman lived on this same beach NAKED for six weeks.
By the end he had a following... naked people on a secret beach...you had to hack your way to with a machete. Now they have shuttles search the web there are other places
