Nicaragua's Beautiful Pacific Coast

The Emerald Coast of Nicaragua refers to a small stretch of coastline along the country’s Pacific coastline, broadly running from El Astillero in the north to San Juan del Sur in the south.

Quite how far south the Emerald Coast stretches is always up for debate although it does all fall within the department of Rivas.

This beautiful stretch of Nicaragua’s Pacific coast is famous for its secluded beaches, dramatic coastline, world-class surfing and unspoiled countryside.

For many years there were very few roads in or near the coast which made accessing these beaches something of a struggle. While news roads are slowly opening up the region, the area still retains its undiscovered vibe and is a great location for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing beach holiday within a beautiful, unspoiled setting.

In addition to its isolated beaches, the Emerald Coast attracts keen surfers, fishing enthusiasts and those interested in marine turtle observation and conservation. Inland from the coast there are possibilities for a number of activities including hiking, horseback riding and birdwatching.
