Caribbean Coast
Pristine Shores
Romantic tropical islands with turquoise-fringed white-sand beaches shaded by coconut
palms anyone? While you may find such idyllic beauty elsewhere, you won't find them as
empty or undeveloped as these.
Home-Style Cooking
The coast has delicious seafood, most famously in its signature dish
'rundown'
. But
costeño
cooking goes way beyond fresh lobster, so grab a glass of seaweed punch and fol-
low your nose to the wonderful unsigned bakeries.
Original Rhythms
Big on culture, the Caribbean coast's maypole rhythms and Miskito pop provide the
soundtrack for performances by Nicaragua's best dancers.
