A ninety minute drive south of Managua on the pristine Pacific Coast, the Surf & Ecolodge is a surfer hideaway right in front of a perfect beach break, with another four waves within walking distance of the lodge.

THE LOCATION
Nicaragua
Extending from the Caribbean to the Pacific coast, Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. Known as “the land of lakes and volcanoes”, it contains Central America’s two largest lakes and numerous active volcanoes. A must is a visit to Lake Nicaragua, more than 160 km. (100 mi.) long and averaging 70 km (45 mi) wide. Once an arm of the Pacific, from which it is only 19 km (12 mi) distant, the lake still contains varieties of ocean creatures, including the only known freshwater sharks. The lakes showcases the scenic Ometepe island, topped by twin volcanoes and one of the most famous sights in the country.
