There are so many photo opps in San Juan del Sur (SJDS), Nicaragua, that it’s hard to sit still and just relax. A tranquil fishing village, it’s known for its sunsets–and for good reason. They’re incredible. And the beach is lovely, of course.
But there’s more to SJDS than that.
The town, which has a population of about 18,000, is charming and the people are lovely. And the chilled out vibe is not to be missed. I was there a few years ago and still have fond memories of it. I hope it hasn’t become overrun with tourists.
Here are some of the photos I took when I was there. I hope they give you a sense of what the town was like. Enjoy!
