Coco Beach, Beach and tourist destination in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
Coco Beach stretches along the Pacific coast with dark sand shores surrounded by natural rock formations and regional vegetation. The strand forms a secluded cove set apart from the main settlement.
The beach developed from a traditional fishing settlement into a tourist destination while keeping its connection to maritime work. This balance between fishing and tourism remains a defining feature.
Fishermen use the beach for their daily work, and their catch goes straight to restaurants and markets along the shore. This connection to the sea shapes the place's character today.
Visitors reach the beach via a rough dirt road about 20 minutes from San Juan del Sur, accessible by private vehicle or public bus. The ground is fairly flat and entry to the water is easy, though sturdy shoes are useful for the journey.
A single structure on this beach provides both lodging and a restaurant, making it exceptionally remote. It is the only commercial facility on the water here.
