San Juan del Sur cruise port guide
Located on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, just half an hour from the Costa Rican border lies the pretty fishing village of San Juan del Sur. Considered by some as the “St. Tropez of Nicaragua”, the village certainly has some resemblances. A sleepy little port by day favoured by the local jet-set and curious traveller alike, San Juan del Sur enjoys a laid-back family orientated feel that is closer to southern France than southern America. By night however, San Juan del Sur transforms itself into the hottest of hot-spots. View less Known principally for its excellent surfing and vibrant nightlife, the town’s charms transcend these more mainstream attributes and it remains an idyllic boutique resort, with bright, colourful houses and remote beaches, offering respite for a community of likeminded cultured travellers. The sunsets here are legendary, so enjoy a Mojito or a local Toña beer, put your feet up and relax.
About San Juan del Sur
San Juan del Sur is a Pacific coast port town in southwestern Nicaragua, set on a beautiful crescent-shaped bay about 140 km south of Managua. It is the only cruise port on Nicaragua's Pacific coast and serves as the gateway to Granada, Nicaragua's colonial gem on Lake Nicaragua. The town is popular for surfing and fishing, and a massive Christ of Mercy statue overlooks the bay from the northern headland.
Granada (100 km, approximately 2 hours) is the signature shore excursion: a beautifully preserved colonial city with Spanish baroque churches, horse-drawn carriages, and access to Mombacho Volcano and the Isletas of Lake Nicaragua. Closer to town, the Cristo de la Misericordia provides dramatic views. Surf beaches north and south of town are accessible by water taxi or ATV rental.
