"the nearby beaches" San Juan del Sur Things to Do Tip by Malecka

There are some amazing beaches close to San Juan del Sur. Now, reaching them might be somewhat tricky... If I remember correctly, there are some boat-tours, but in the end we decided to pay a cab driver and go to Marsella, one of the beaches close to San Juan del Sur.
There are many... La Flor, Majagual, Maderas, Marsella, Tola... I know they are all a preferred destination for many surfers.

We chose Marsella for no particular reason. We reached the beach and asked the driver to come back a few hours later... There was absolutely no one. Just raw nature. A cloudy but warm day. Hundreds of little crabs moving around the sand, a beautiful silver shimmer on the surface of the water... I couldn't believe how untouched and wonderful it was.

We ended up eating at... literally, in the yard of a house, some local people that were selling juice and we asked if they could prepare something for us. It was (still is) one of the top three, most delicious fish dishes I have ever tasted. Outstandingly tasty, fish prepared with tomato salsa, tostones and rice. Loved it.
