Pearl Cays, Island group in Caribbean Sea, Nicaragua
The Pearl Cays consist of 12 small islands spread across the eastern coastline of Nicaragua, featuring white sandy beaches and dense vegetation.
Originally comprising 18 islands in the Caribbean archipelago, six of these formations disappeared under rising water levels during recent decades.
The Pearl Cays function as crucial nesting grounds for Hawksbill turtles, leading to the establishment of a dedicated wildlife refuge in 2010.
Visitors can arrange boat transportation from Pearl Lagoon town, with trips lasting approximately 90 minutes and costing 250 dollars per vessel.
Each of the remaining islands offers opportunities for swimming between locations, spearfishing local species, and preparing fresh catches on the beach.
