Explore San Juan del Sur
San Juan del Sur is a coastal town in southern Nicaragua, known for its bay, restaurants and access to different Pacific beaches. The Cristo de la Misericordia viewpoint and nearby shoreline can be combined with a town visit.
What to see
Explore the bay before considering the Cristo de la Misericordia viewpoint, then choose a separate beach according to the experience you want. Nearby Playa Maderas and protected Playa La Flor do not have identical access conditions.

Things to do
Explore the bay and town, then consider the Cristo de la Misericordia viewpoint for a different perspective on the coast. Beaches outside town offer other experiences, but Playa Maderas and Playa La Flor have distinct access and safety considerations.

Getting there and around
Travel through the Rivas corridor and confirm the exact road or transfer for any beach beyond San Juan del Sur. Agree on the return journey before heading to a remote stretch of coast, especially without a private vehicle.
Before your visit
Check sea conditions, local restrictions and access rules, especially for protected areas. A scenic beach does not guarantee safe swimming or unrestricted entry.
