SURF LESSONS Playa Popoyo
The Best Surf Lessons in Popoyo!
Playa Colorado Surf School loves to run surf lessons at Popoyo beach, one of the most well-known surf spots in Nicaragua. Here, diverse surf breaks running along multiple reef sections offer something for surfers of all skill levels.
For beginner surfers there’s no sweeter spot to learn to surf than the aptly named Beginner’s Bay near the iconic Magnific Rock. Sheltered by an impressive shale rock shelf, Beginner’s Bay is a fun and easy wave that is approachable to everyone. Grab a long board and get on board with any one of our private, semi-private or group lessons today!
Further north in front of the surf town of Guasacate are the Popoyo surf breaks, with an inner reef breaking both left and right and an outer reef reserved for experienced surfers who can offer a real show in pipeline barrels. And if the beaches in the south are calling you down to Rancho Santana, Hacienda Iguana, or San Juan Del Sur, Playa Colorado Surfing School has got you covered. Say goodbye to dreaming about learning to surf and wave hello to the beauty and fun of Nicaragua’s surf coast today.

Deceptive advertising and poor communication/web site - First, parking is VERY difficult to find so be prepared for that. Second, we were given directions to go to the shop. However, when we got to the... read more shop they were closed and there was a sign on the door to go to the beach across the street where they had a canopy set up. Could have given us those directions in the beginning. Website advertises 90 minute lessons. HOWEVER, that 90 minutes includes the time to change into the wet suit and get ready for the lesson. Even at that we were about 10 minutes late starting. but they counted the lesson as starting on time. Then ended lesson 15 minutes early so could return the surf board and change out of the wet suit. Total lesson less than an hour. Also, had rented boards for an additional hour. BUT, unknown to us (no information on web site) had to switch to a different wet suit and had to walk a block over from the beach, get the surf board, and walk back. Like a dummy I assumed the board that we were renting would be one that we used for the lessons. I don't know that any of the other schools are any different. Just want people to know and understand you may be paying for 90 minutes but you get an actual hour or less OF LESSON. Did not use the rental and did NOT get a refund ($15 for an hour per board).

My wife and I surfed for the first time with Angelo and Alex. We both had a ton of fun and would definitely recommend it!
