A horseshoe bay town on Nicaragua's Pacific coast that grew from a fishing village into the country's main surf and backpacker hub. A hilltop Christ statue overlooks the harbor, and shuttles run to a string of surf beaches to the north and south. Sunday pool parties and cheap hostels keep the vibe young and social.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
