Popoyo Nicaragua and Surfing Vacation Rentals

Popoyo is considered one of the best places to go surfing in Nicaruagua. In fact if you visit Popoyo make sure to bring your big daddy board shorts.  Central America´s Pipeline is in the outer reef. It can get up to 25-30 foot faces breaking on 6 feet of water.  Its definitely a towable wave and the mac daddy of Nica. I’ve been told by a couple of the local surfers that you can see the reef below you as the wave jacks up and you’re riding down the line. These breaks are known and revered worldwide and in contrast this town is about as rugged as it gets as far as developments. The roads are rutted out and there aren’t many places to eat or stay. The pizza place comes to mind..its great pizza but not the economical meals you equate with Nica. There are a few hostels but the renting a vacation rental with others is the way to go.

If  you need any taxi services to Popoyo you can take the Popoyo Taxi Service which will take you from Managua to Popoyo for $120.00 or if you are travelling from Rivas to Popoyo then the fare is $50.00. The rates are pretty good considering Managua to Popoyo is roughly 76km.

If the outer reef is a bit much for you, the best way to surf Popoyo is to go out with one of the surf camps. They will drop you in right behind one of 15 or so breaks within a 20min boat ride. The boat ride itself is pretty amazing as you rarely see another boat let alone a person.  Surfing in front of a jungle teeming with wildlife is par for the course.  With the consistent off shore winds in Nica its hard to beat the glassy shape of every break you come across. Its rugged, but if you are on a mission to surf incredible waves until you drop, this IS the place for you.

If the surf is flat which is very rare,  you can go on fishing charters with any of the several surf camps that operate out of popoyo.  The cost is based on how long you want to go fishing. For example a full day trip that lasts 8 hours will cost $475 or if you want a half day trip it will only cost $330.00 which is 4 – 5 hours..this is for the entire group. Also sandwiches, ice, bait, soda, tackle, and the captain are all included on the trip. If you do want alcoholic beverages they do cost extra and you need to let the captain know 24 hours prior to the booking date.

There are all kinds of houses available for rent and are very affordable. You can find a large selection of Nicaragua vacation rentals right here on our adventurepads.com Also, if you are a property owner in Nicaragua or elsewhere in the world you can list your vacation property rental on adventurepads.com for free.

There are 2 sizeable developements that have many vacation rentals to
choose from. They are Rancho Santana and Hacienda Iguana. While Rancho Santana seems to be what California was 100yrs ago with rolls hills and panoramic views of the ocean, Iguana resembles what hawaii would have been like with a flat tropical feel with
a wide open beach pretty much in front of the entire resort. Both resorts have incredible homes built to the highest standards and on top of this, rarely is the beach or the surf
crowded, if ever.

They are mainly western cuisine but they do introduce some Nicaraguan meals into their menus. If you want to venture out, there is a great little cafe called Maria’s on the way to Popoyo. Its very inexpensive but great food. Just make sure to brush up on your spanish.

Once you are there, and looking to surf or hang out on the beach, there are many
spots to choose from. Iguana has panga drops and colorado breaks right in front of
the resort while Rancho Santana sports as impressive breaks called Los Perros, Santana,
