Pearl Cays
Top 6 in Top 6 Best Dive Sites in Nicaragua
The Pearl Cays are a series of 18 cays off Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, roughly 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Pearl Lagoon. They are part of the Autonomous Region of the South Caribbean Coast. The Pearl Cays are surrounded by tropical flora and have white sandy beaches. Turtles, particularly the highly endangered Hawksbill turtle, use them as a nesting location.
This 22-cay archipelago is known for its pristine sand beaches, clean water, and abundant sea life. To get here, you'll need to take a boat from Pearl Lagoon, but it's well worth the trip. Snorkelers will enjoy seeing dolphins, marine turtles, and manta rays.
