Jiquilillo,
Within the Estero (Stuary) Padre Ramos Natural Reserve in Chinandega, Jiquilillo is one of the largest coasts, (3 miles), and considered one of the most important resorts on the Pacific Coasts.

La Boquita, Casares and Huehuete are beaches next to Montelimar southbound.
Less crowded but not least appreciated, these beaches serve more visitors from their neighboring cities Diriamba and Jinotepe.
Popoyo, Tola
My most recommended to visit Popopo where you can enjoy beautiful beaches, confortable and suitable to spend with family and friends. The beautiful and more attracting and almost virgin landscapes, sand, clear water will delight you and make you feel like being in your private beach.
Popoyo also has excellent waves for surfing and also most recommended for this water sport.
The only inconvenience, even thou every kind of vehicle can make the trip is some 10 miles of dirt and rocks road.

This small town is surrounded by mountains and hasa bay with a huge beach about 2 miles long white sand, its waters is widely practiced fishing and stringline submarine.

If you are considering retiring and like the beach, look no further, Nicaragua is one of the most affordable places to live. Properties, food, public services and many benefits for retire people you can have in Nicaragua. Developments are building urbanizations all over the Pacific coast of Nicaragua where you can still buy a house or a piece of land at more affordable prices than the rest of the world.

Nicaragua Beaches
The liveliest beach action is at San Juan del Sur, once a sleepy little Pacific coast fishing village, now the country’s main seaside destination, complete with a handful of lovely hotels and port-of-call of cruise ships. But San Juan del Sur so far remains a laid back and charming place, whose beach is clean and mellow, whose lively seaside restaurants serve up heaping plates of fresh-caught snapper, shrimp and lobster, and whose evenings are rum-soaked and starry.
San Juan del Sur earns her role as a Mecca for surfers, who have a choice of neighboring beaches (14 of them) reached by dirt road or boat taxi.
Costa Esmeralda, a 30-mile stretch of Pacific shore newly established as a vacation hot spot among resort aficiandos and in-the-know wellness seekers. Located north of the beach town of San Juan de Sur, we could expect this Emerald Coast to one day welcome the arrival of luxury getaways treating guests to upscale suites, sybaritic spas and golf courses meandering through gorgeous landscape.
At the moment, the Emerald Coast---stretching between the towns of Tola and the picture-perfect fishing and lobstering village of El Astillero--- is indeed evolving, getting a high end makeover, yet the area remains tranquil and quiet, retaining for the most part, its off-the-beaten-track charm. At the same time, this stunning coastline as always enjoyed two of the most famous surf breaks in the country---Colorado and Popoyo
