San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

This tranquil fishing village lies nestled at the head of a lovely horseshoe-shaped bay on the Pacific coast of southern Nicaragua. Dotted with small, private yachts and commercial fishing boats, the bay offers all manner of surfing, diving and sportfishing -- plus a chance to kick back and relax on some of Central America's most beautiful white-sand beaches.
