2018 HQ Adventures in Popoyo, Nicaragua
Surf trip to Nicaragua before the turmoil. Popoyo, Playgrounds, Lance's Left, Magnific Rock, and Ometepe, and the ride in between.
Playa Hermosa, Nicaragua
Playa Hermosa is a Stunning stretch of White sandy beach with amazing views of Nicaragua to Costa Rica.
It's Located about 12 km south of San Juan Del Sur.
Once through the Gate where you will pay an admission (Ours was included in our Shuttle)...Head down the dirt or mud road, and through some streams while dodging a few cows on the road. There is a little parking area with a path to the Beach.
Playa Hermosa is popular with surfers of all skill levels. The Beach has a surf school and rental shop. There is also an EcoLodge for longer visits.
We spent our day walking on the beach, swimming in the warm water and chilling in the many hammocks. We brought our lunch but there is a restaurant and bar here as well.
There are also washrooms, and outdoor shower and lockers for your stuff.
This is a definite must see here in San Juan Del Sur! Its a great budget friendly day trip and and what better way to spend the day!!
Don't Forget to shuffle your feet in the water-Sting Rays live here too lol
I hope you enjoyed this great beach...Please come back again and check out more fun videos.

100 Days Central America Part 3- Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua
Please Subscribe!
In Episode 3 we cross into Guatemala a country not really known for waves, beautiful none the less. Entering into El Salvador in the night was a fun experience but we woke up to a fun right point break. David has to fly home for a family wedding for a few days while I make some new friends and find a waterfall in the jungle! When David returns we venture south to the Las Flores area where we hit a swell dead on and get some of the best waves of our lives. On our way through Honduras we run into some trouble at the boarder which results in David getting injured and not able to surf in Nicaragua. Which ends up being the smallest waves we had seen in over a month!

Nicaragua best surfing beaches Top 10
Nicaragua best surfing beachesis, the video that we bring you today.
NICA’S WAVES rank among the best in Central America. Trade winds blow unopposed over Lake Managua and out into the Pacific, blessing the southwestern coastline with consistently offshore winds. Add to that the fact that the country receives the brunt of storm waves propagating up from the South Pacific year round, and has a coastal topography littered with points, reefs, and creek-fed beaches.
What this means is, on any given day, somewhere in Nicaragua, is going off.
The wind is usually perfect at Maderas, as it’s situated adjacent to Lake Managua. It’s a beach offering hollow lefts and rights that handles long period swells quite well. A 10-minute drive on rough roads from San Juan del Sur, it’s the go-to place for both tourists and locals (shuttles from $5).
There are quite a few surf schools, so if you’re just learning start here. That said, Maderas holds plenty of size and is awesome for experienced surfers too. Stay at one of the budget options on the beach and wake up early to beat the crowds.
Popoyo is really two spots: the inner reef and outer reef. The inside is a left breaking over coral heads and urchins and other things you don’t want anything to do with. Try not to break your fins. Watch the nicaragüenses make the tricky paddle out through the reef before you attempt it. It gets heavy and tends to max out. The inner reef is one of the classic surf spots in Nica and the local expat contingent and dedicated campers have this place on lockdown. Bring patience and timing.
The outer reef is for pros (or crazy people). When the swell pushes past six or seven feet, head here. Bring your gun, or the ski to tow in. Expect machine-like barrels throwing as wide as they are tall and breaking at about three to five times overhead, over a scary-shallow reef. I’m nominating it as the heaviest wave in Nica.
HOW TO TRAVEL IN NICARAGUA
An unforgettable two week backpacking trip to Nicaragua in 2014. Locations visited included; Managua, Big Corn Island, Little Corn Island, Granada, San Jorge, Las Islatas, Isla de Ometepe, Volcan Concepcion, Playa Santo Domingo, San Juan Del Sur, Playa Remanso, Rivas, Playa Gigante, Guacalito, Playa Santana, Popoyo, and Magnific Rock.
Highlights of the trip were hanging out with @bloggeries from stophavingaboringlife.com while on Little Corn, scuba diving with wild dolphins and night diving, climbing the 5,280 ft active volcano Concepcion in Lake Nicaragua. Other highlights included surfing in San Juan Del Sur and the other amazing northern pacific beaches including Playa Gigante, Popoyo, and the breaks at Magnific Rock. If you are lucky enough to be in San Juan Del Sur on a Sunday, you must attend the famous all day pool crawl which was epic. I missed my flight out and had to spend an extra day down here...shucks.
