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.

It's so peaceful paddling out and waiting sitting on the board, then BAM the wave comes and you get hit by a surge of adrenaline.
