Washed out on the pacific coast
Sep 9, 2008

I'd heard some people say that SJdelS is awesome and well worth a visit. It is Nicaragua's main beach resort - within easy reach of the capital but, despite this, not overly developed. As it was en route to CR (close to the border) i though i might as well ...

Jul 8, 2007 (5 photos)

SJDS is admittedly a surf town, and it would be fair to say it is more the place to stay in if you really are a surf dude or dudette.  There's not much wave action in the bay itself and pretty much only the locals will swim in the water there.  ...
