The Beach

The Nicaraguan Riviera beach is nothing but pure golden sand reaching for the horizon in both directions. It will surely be among the longest and widest beaches that you will have ever seen. It is decorated only with beautiful arrays of seashells that will entice the collector in you. There are no rocks, holes or other hazards in the water or on the beach. There are no crowds; in fact, until you, your guests and your new neighbours arrive, there will be no one to bask in the sun on “your beach” that borders your property. The sand slopes very gently into the sea so that the surf breaks far from the water’s edge and one can wade far from shore to enjoy the surf. Of course, the water of the Pacific is pleasantly warm, buoyant and soothing.

Mother Nature at the Beach

Wildlife on and around your property will be limited to a variety of aquatic and other colourful birds, including pelicans soaring in formation and diving into the surf, and various brightly coloured types. The few other natural inhabitants include the small ubiquitous lizards that are typically found in southern climes. You will be pleasantly surprised by the absence of insect pests. Aside from the occasional housefly or small ant foraging in your kitchen (and easily dealt with), you should be left quite alone by non-humans – even at night – when the lights on your patio attract nothing but a few hopeful tiny lizards that will join in the conversation with the occasional chirp.
