San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
2007-12-07 01:13:00 San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua offers up some pretty awesome, not overdone sunsets. The kind that make you stop for a few moments during your mad rush to do whatever and just look ... and let Mother Nature work her healing charms on your frazzled nerve endings.I have never seen the "green flash" sunsets that so many people talk about. I think if you have enough cocktails in the evenings, you could make the flash any colour you want it to be. But I understand this is a very real phenomena. The green flash, not the cocktails.San Juan del Sur has become a mecca for surfing over the last decade or so. Apparently the waves here are like no others in the world. I am finding that out about the whole of Nicaragua. There are places here that defy imagination. And are like no other places on earth. Such immense beauty makes me want to stop for a few moments and let Mother Nature work her healing charms. Maybe I'll even see the green flash.
San Juan del Sur
2007-02-18 18:59:01 San Juan del Sur is a small, charming fishing town on a spectacular half-moon sandy bay on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The town has good connections to the capital city Managua and the colonial town of Granada and has emerged as the premier tourism destination on the Pacific. Famous for its views, sunsets and surfing The dramatic hills surrounding the bay offer beautiful ocean views and the western orientation of the town provides perfect vantage points for taking in the sunset. Small, private yachts, fishing boats and the occasional cruise liner dot the lovely bay. Fishing is still a mainstay of the economy here, although more and more San Juaneños are finding ways to get involved in the growing tourism activity in the region.
