| Nicaragua is one of those places that offers everything a traveling surfer could want. There is consistent year round surf, warm water, and a chance to surf a great break all by yourself. Its also just a couple of hours from The United States and just up the road from Costa Rica so you do not have to go half way round the world to find epic surf. |
| Nicaragua does suffer from an image problem. Its an image that is does not deserve. The people are very friendly and outside of Managua their is little crime or public safety issues. In fact this secret is now getting out and travelers looking to get a change of scenery from Costa Rica's popular beaches are making Nicaragua part of their visit to this part of the world. |

Unlike Costa Rica, in Nicaragua not all the breaks are accessible by vehicle nor are most beaches marked with signs. Therefore unless you are staying at one of the surf lodges you will need water transportation or a vehicle with a guide to get around. Along with advise for which is best for you we also can provide ground transportation from Costa Rica for those looking to surf both countries. The savings on airline board fees alone will probably pay for most of the cost of the ground transfer from Costa Rica. |
