"Nicaragua has beaches?" When a friend recently asked me this question, I was
shocked! Well known for its steamy, dense jungles and mountain trails, many
Americans are just now discovering what is perhaps Nicaragua's best kept secret:
Its breathtaking beaches!
With beaches on both coasts (and many along
its numerous lakes and rivers), Nicaragua is a beach lover's paradise. With over
190 miles of beaches on Pacific Coast and 280 miles on the Caribbean Coast, if
it's fun, sun, and sand you're after, you really can't go wrong in Nicaragua.
Once you experience a Nicaraguan playa, you might never want to leavebut that's
okay since there's never been a better time to invest in local real estate than
right now.
From white sand to stony shorelines, from lavishly developed
to wooden shacks along the shore, there is something for every beach lover in
this land of twin coastlines. To make sure you curl your bare toes in softest
sand, take a look at my top 3 picks for your perfect piece of paradise.
Montelimar Luxury at Its Best
One of Nicaragua's largest and
busiest beach resort towns and arguably one of the best places to relax on the
Pacific's white sandy beaches in all of Central America, Montelimar has the
finest collection of luxurious resorts, hotels, and casinos each designed to
cater to your every desire.
Whether you are an average Joe or the
President of the United States, you can expect to be treated like royalty by a
friendly people everywhere from eating in a fine restaurant or catching up on
some much-needed sleep in your hotel room. Service is first rate and
accommodations rival those found in the best beach destinations around the
world.
If you're looking for a pampered vacation spot, filled from start
to finish with all the rest and relaxation you desire, then Montelimar is the
best sandy spot for you.
If you're looking for activity, Montelimar is
for you. From horseback riding, scuba diving, and kayaking, you will find none
better in the world. And, if you're up for hanging ten, the locals can point you
in the direction of great surfing hot spots, too.
Indeed, possibilities
are endless on this side of paradise, and, if on the rare occasion you do not
have a blast, at least you will go home with a nice tan.
La Boquita
Beach Inexpensive, Clean, and Colorful
With its rocky and sandy beaches,
La Boquita has earned a sparkling reputation as one of the most popular tourist
destinations in all of Nicaragua. Located on the Pacific coast, La Boquita is
filled with chic hotels, world-class restaurants and bars - offering an
all-inclusive vacation experience.
With seafood that is to die for, you
could spend your entire vacation eating freshly caught food and dining on the
amazing wealth of tropical delights that grow in and about this little slice of
heaven.
As an established destination, tourists can feel comfortable
knowing that they'll find the modern amenities you're looking for and
transportation, accommodations, and day-to-day necessities are all easily
accessed and enjoyed.
I mportant: If you cannot tolerate large crowds of
people, this is not the place for you, especially around national holidays. But,
surprisingly, despite being overrun by a constant stream of tourists, La Boquita
is touted as one of the cleanest beaches in the country, and even with the
high-class accommodations, you'll find it's really inexpensive, too.
Lake Nicaragua
You don't have to be on the coast to enjoy the
beach. Nicaragua is home to many lakes, lagoons, and rivers that offer
incredible beach experiences. The most popular lake in Nicaragua is Lago de
Nicaragua, or Lake Nicaragua, also known as the Sweet Sea.
Like the
country itself, Lake Nicaragua is the largest lake in all of Central America.
Even though this is a freshwater lake, it still contains an abundance of sea
dwellers like sharks, swordfish, and tarpon. Grab your snorkeling gear and get
ready for fun (sharks optional)!
When you go to Lake Nicaragua, you must
visit Isla de Ometepe. It's 171 square miles of pure adventure and beauty.
Filled with untouched forests, wildlife, and indigenous culture, this island
getaway will be unlike any you've ever experienced. Hiking in its many amazing
forests, you'll discover monkeys, armadillo, opossum, anteaters, deer, bats, and
more. Then, be sure to kick off your sandals, enjoy a papaya or guava juice
(with local rum, of course), and take a break on the glorious white sand
beaches.
If you're up for an adventure, aren't a fan of large crowds,
and are ready for a quiet retreat into one of the world's most beautiful and
lush island landscapes, then Isla de Ometepe is a must.
As you can see,
Nicaragua is much more than humid rainforests and volcanoesit's also a beach
lover's paradise. But, shhhh, don't let the secret out. Let's keep it just
between us, okay? So, next time you're planning a sandy vacation (or even a
permanent move), put Nicaragua at the top of your list and be sure to visit one
of these incredible beach paradises.
