Playa Escameca

Found on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, Playa Escameca feels worlds apart from the country’s busier shores. Here, dense jungle spills onto golden sand, and at night, sea turtles haul themselves up the beach to nest beneath the stars. Offshore, volcanic rock formations and reefs are home to schools of fish, while the horizon is lined with powerful surf breaks that have earned legendary status among those who seek them out.
