Nicaragua, a.k.a. the “land of lakes and volcanoes,” is one of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations—it drew about 1.5 million visitors in 2016. But you wouldn’t know it from visiting its Emerald Coast, a stretch of shoreline between Tola and El Astillero that feels decadently quiet and shockingly untouched, save for the smattering of boutique hotels along the water.
The area attracts a motley crew of surfers and spa-goers in search of an off-the-beaten-path piece of paradise that also offers some of the world’s best surf breaks and beaches that would make a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue location scout cry. This remote destination isn’t your spot if you’re looking to party all night, but it’s perfect for anyone looking to chill on an ultra-mellow beach for a week or shred on some of Central America’s best waves.
