San Juan Del Sur
The second trip I finally made it to the ocean at San Juan del Sur...although only for a day. That was quite enough though as it appears to be a decidedly "gringo" spot with a beach and not much else. Apparently branching out from the town you can find some great unspoiled beaches and quiet accomodation....but I will have to save that exploration for another visit.
To get to San Juan you take a bus from the stop (at left) just down the street from the Market in Granada to Rivas. Here you change to a bus to San Juan del Sur.
