El Gigante

Travel Guide

Next time you find yourself in Nicaragua, skip the tourist hordes and party scene of San Juan Del Sur, and head up the coast a little bit to Playa Gigante. It's a beautiful, quiet little beach town, with some really decent surfing, and a few really great restaurants.

Good place, poor service
