Chased away by the bees, we leave Potosí for Jiquilillo and Estero Padre Ramos.

On the edge of the tiny fishing village of Jiquilillo we end up to a breathtaking sandy beach. In this part we don't see other tourists, just friendly villagers and fishing boats!
Walking on the -almost desolate- beach of Jiquilillo, it's funny to discover a "surfing lodge" (called 'Monty's Surf Lodge') right on the beach ! We didn't expect to find such an accomodation in this corner still unexploited by tourism, our travelguide doesn't even mention it! We are not 'surfers', so we didn't take a closer look, but 'Monty's Surf Lodge' looks allright.

North of Jiquilillo, a large estuary called the Padre Ramos Estuary, preserves a large mangrove forest and offers some spectacular nature. There is also some tourism infrastructure present at this natural reserve, which makes it possible to explore this unspoiled region and enjoy some of Nicaragua's finest nature.
