San Juan del Sur Surfing – New online directory and information site!
June 23, 2009
Rex Calderon, One of the local junior pros
This is our first blog as the new definitive tourism directory to San Juan del Sur!
We’re gonna be updating this pretty regularly to let you know what’s going on down here, but this one’s just a little introduction to the place and to get to know us!
San Juan is this beautiful little fishing village which is fast becoming a bustling tourist town. We have everything you might need for that perfect beach holiday! All the surrounding beaches are a short drive away, with some incredible world class surfing as well as relaxing swimming beaches or places to snorkel and go diving.
Surfing is huge over here, and with waves that match Costa Rica, but without the crowds, the expenses, and the winds here stay offshore all day almost all year, there is so much to offer. Some of our breaks, including Playa Madera, Remanso and Yankee are well discovered, but even they are not busy compared to anything you will be used to at home. There are so many places out in Nicaragua, all the way up the Pacific Coast which are yet to be discovered, and waiting for you to put a name to!
Anything you need before you get here, whilst you’re here, and after you’ve left will be on the new site. We are creating an all round site to help the tourists find what they’re looking for and for all the business to make sure people know about them!
There are some great places to stay here, from hostels to hotels, from surf camps to eco lodges, and SanJuanSurf.com is going to become the number 1 online guide for information for visitors and locals. Have a look before you come here, and decide where you’d like to while away the days while you’re here in Nicaragua!
The site is split into various sections to help with user-abilty listed below:
SURF – Beaches Lessons Boat Trips Camps Shops
OTHER FUN – Yoga & Fitness Boats Land Fun Natural Wonders
Cultural Tours Shopping & Cafes Learn Spanish
NIGHT LIFE – Restaurants Bars & Clubs
SLEEP - Backpacker Mid-range Luxury
CLASSIFIEDS - Real Estate For rent Used Boards Cars, Bikes etc Miscellaneous
There’s always lots going on down here, we even had a video made about Nicaraguan surfers recently by Tyler Bliss called Centro…definitely worth checking out as a souvenier when your down here. Here’s a little trailer..
Anyway, We’ve got to get back to working on this site so we can get a quick surf in before it gets dark (6ft and 18 second period…..gonna be fun!) and so we can get it launched and start putting San Juan del Sur on the Map!
Till next time,
