Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Rancho Santana is a private resort and an ideal location for all surfers, from beginners to experienced. Access can be gained by renters or owners to the resort or by passing the resort entrance by about 1-2 km and following a marked dirt road to the beach. Once at the beach, you will find a nice beach break that stretches for several kms. A short walk south around the lava flow brings you to Perfect Peak. Access to Oysters can only be gained by 4X4 through Rancho Santana unless you wish to paddle over a km south. It is named after the local oyster divers. It is a nice size A frame over a deep water reef. It is for all surfers.
There is a new resort right on Santana Beach called Buena Onda Resort, it offers clean, comfortable and affordable accomodation (rancho santana is expensive). It also offers boat trips to other surfspots, board rentals, fishing trips, horseriding, yoga, ..piece of paradise! You find more information on the web. |

General |
This was one of the best uncrowded spots I have surfed. The waves were perfect every day with offshore winds that originated from Lake Nicaraga. Driving from Managua to the surf was easy on newly paved roads. I recommend the short stop at the active volcan Masaya. No hassles and the locals are more than happy to cook you a meal for some cordobas. Playa Madera, near San Juan del Sur, a popular spot provided good surf with a few more people. A two hour drive north to La Boquita offered clean glassy waves with only one local boogie boarder who enjoyed our company. Glad we escaped the growing crowds of Costa Rica.
Uncrowded spot with 300+ days offshore breeze per year! |
