Playa el Coco is located 18 kilometers south of the city of San Juan del Sur. If you want to get away from the bustle of the city and spend a relaxing holiday with families or friends, this is the ideal beach. The lodging options you will find here are managed by CASAS DE VACACIONES NICARAGUA. Only a few tourists will be found here.

Playa el Coco is one of the most beautiful beach of Nicaragua.The beach is sandy, there are not rocks, water is warm. Be aware of the stingrays when the water get cold, fortunately, it happens a few times during a year. My family and I have live there for 14 years. Info of the houses you can rent find it at CASAS DE VACACIONES on facebook. Do not forget to visit Playa la Flor, beach where every year thousand of females olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) come together on the same beach to lay eggs, a unique mass nesting called arribada.

You may think that the Guadalupe Church is dirty and unkempt but it actually makes for great photos. We came right after the sun was setting in the blue hours, it makes for great photos. It is located on the end of the busy pedestrian street.

No one wanted to go with me, so after reading about it and the great views,I did this hike solo. Halfway up, I thought it was ominous that this hike starts in a graveyard. I’m in good shape for age 65, but that was an arduous hike! With the helpful hand of a wonderful Tourist Police Officer, I made it all the way up to the cross. ( otherwise impossible for someone like me that’s very short – those steps were really high!) Officer Byron even took great pictures! The views are otherworldly. It was definitely worth it, and the officer kindly escorted me halfway down the very steep steps to make sure I didn’t get hurt. I didn’t think I needed the help, but he really did me a favor – my knees were wobbly on the way down. This is not a hike for someone who’s not in decent shape; I barely qualify. Take a hiking stick,and water.

Beautiful Church located right in the heart of the city in Central Park. Free to entry and well worth checking out. Some photos on Trip Advisor are wrong and obviously of the Cathedral in Granada Spain
