Get to know San Juan del Sur (no more "I wish I knew this before")

This section is dedicated to take away all your "I wish someone had told me that before I went!" experiences. This way, you can spend less time settling in, and more time making new friends in your chosen hostel. We share our insider knowledge of tips, tricks and important things to look out for in San Juan del Sur.

 A walk along the beach

San Juan Del Sur is surfer central, located on the southwest Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The town caters to tourists, so there is a great range of food and shopping on offer as well as a great range of tours and activities including surfing, snorkeling, and sailing tours -- and if you are here at the right time, you can also see turtles nesting.

Because of the town's popularity with tourists, there is something to suit everyone. If you want to be in the centre of town within walking distance to the beach at San Juan and close to the shuttles and tours that can take you to the other nearby beaches, there are options for San Juan Del Sur hostels ranging from quieter to a more party-friendly vibe, all within a couple of blocks of the beach. If you want to be out of town but still close to town, there are many San Juan Del Sur hostels that have their own bar and pool and restaurants that are on the outskirts of town. Some of these San Juan Del Sur hostels also offer free shuttles to and from town. Do avoid carrying valuables with you if you choose to walk to town from these San Juan Del Sur hostels, though.

The best beaches are out of town, so why not choose accommodation right on the beach at Playa Maderas and Playa Hermosa? This is a good option if you want to get as much surfing in as possible without the hassle of being shuttled to and from town everyday. Whatever you are looking for there is an option for you.
