This gateway to Lake Nicaragua offers boat tours where you'll spot diverse wildlife along the scenic shoreline. Visit the central park's colourful colonial church, then head to nearby San Jorge port for ferries to Ometepe Island.

To some this beach is only  a pitstop on the way to the island of Ometepe. But it is also great for a photo safari.
