San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

San Juan del Sur is one of the most popular destinations in Nicaragua… but there’s much more to this Pacific coastal town than surfing and nightlife. In this video, I take a tour around San Juan del Sur, exploring the everyday places, scenic viewpoints, and cultural landmarks that give the town its character. Tucked into a beautiful horseshoe-shaped bay on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, San Juan del Sur began as a small fishing village and natural harbor. Today it attracts visitors from around the world—but beyond the beach parties, it remains a very real Nicaraguan town filled with fishermen, local markets, quiet neighborhoods, and spectacular coastal views. On this tour, we explore highlights including: • The San Juan del Sur Bay waterfront and malecón • The town’s historic Iglesia San Juan Bautista • Hillside viewpoints overlooking the Pacific • Coastal paths and quieter corners of town • Daily life in one of Nicaragua’s most famous beach towns This video focuses on the walkable side of San Juan del Sur—the scenery, the rhythm of daily life, and the small details that many visitors miss. If you enjoy slow travel, walking tours, and discovering places beyond the typical tourist experience, this look at San Juan del Sur will give you a deeper sense of what makes this town special.
