Las Peñitas

The seaside location of Las Peñitas has become well-known due to its proximity to the city of León. Las Peñitas, a fishing community on the country's northwestern coast, is situated on a three-mile stretch of coastline. It has a laid-back vibe and a burgeoning tourism scene. However, as the area's renown increases, it remains charming and full of things to do, including easy access to the Reserva Natural Isla Juan Venado for some turtle watching.

Locals love Las Peñitas, but it is also a wonderful place for newbies searching for surf instruction. Visitors can explore the local mangroves and visit the turtle hatchery on Isla Juan Venado, depending on the time of year. Many visitors to Las Peñitas also go to Cerro Negro, a nearby volcano, to try their hand at volcano boarding. The bungalows at Barca de Ora are one of the greatest locations to stay in Las Peitas. They provide inexpensive yoga courses, massages, and horseback riding, making this one of Nicaragua's top beach towns.
