ECOTOURISM
Casares is a small fishing village, unspoiled by tourist
attractions. The local fisherman will let you ride with them if you
ask. Each morning when the fishermen return, the beach becomes a
frenzy of activity as coolers are emptied of fish, catches are
appraised and carried to nearby market stalls, motors are removed
from the boats, and the boats are hauled ashore using an ancient
tool: log rollers. With the sound of surf as background music, the
beach is simultaneously workplace, playground and social gathering
spot, filled with frolicking children, and soccer players.
40 kilometers from Jinotepe, Huehuete is a surfing paradise, with
high and rough waves to be conquered. Huehuete is compltely
unspoiled and will give you the scence of a private beach.
La Boquita, very tranquil ocean, perfect for children’s play. The
tourist center, provide visitors with hotel, restaurants, music,
cabanas, restrooms and showers. This a favorite beach for the locals
during “Semana Santa” (Holy Week). Citizens of Nicaragua run to the
beaches during Easter holidays because they get a week of vacation.
This is the only time when the beaches get crowded.
