These are our first impressions of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua !!! | Walking in San Juan del Sur

As the Nicaraguan bus service would have taken too long and we would have to change school buses in Rivas, we opted for a direct shuttle between Granada and San Juan del Sur. This sleepy fishing village that turned into a hub for North American expats is great if you want to party and explore the restaurant and clubbing scene! You have countless different bars and nightlife options here that you certainly won't find in Granada and maybe not even in Managua... However, you don't have supermarkets like La Colonia, La Union or Maxi Pali but rather smaller convenience stores where choices are more limited with generally higher prices. Initially, this was a slight annoyance for us but we quickly adjusted to it after a day or so.

Also, don't expect San Juan to have a long island style beach with white sand: this is the Pacific where the sand is dark and the beach is nestled between two cliffs. Having said that, you can still go for a dip in the ocean if you don't mind the extremely high salinity and the fishing boats. There are day shuttles available that will take you to more rustic beaches in the area, popular with surfers.
