Most definitely off the beaten trail, and most definitely worth the extra effort is Bahia Majagual, one of the most beautiful beaches in Nicaragua. Getting there is an adventure in itself! Located just 12 kilometers from San Juan del Sur, you can either take the rough, muddy road, or jump on a water taxi that will run you up the coastline.
Recently the Bahia was purchased by the Cruz Pellas family, one of the richest in 
Nicaragua. Thank goodness they have left the beach open for public access! Despite the fact that they are building their own compound, complete with a huge wall, this still remains one of the Gringo’s favorite places to spend the day.
Along the coast there are beautiful caves and rock formations where you can explore; but use caution, there are streams running through the caves with pretty strong currents. Do not carry any valuables with you while exploring the caves. There is nowhere to stay the night, so make Bahia Majagual a day trip from San Juan del Sur.
