gleaming with precious woods and dappled with the forest light, which filters through the
parrot- and monkey-filled jungle canopy right into your screened-in porch.
Follow the signs to Majagual and turn right after passing a black-and-yellow gate; con-

Arena Blanca
With some of the clearest water and whitest sand on the Pacific coast, this little inlet is
only accessible by rented boat or along a very rough dirt road across very private property
- ask permission. At the northern end of the beach is Punta Manzanillo, also called Punta
Reloj, a point break that may work around midtide if swells are big enough.

Beaches South of San Juan del Sur
Although there is regular bus service between San Juan del Sur and El Ostional, you'll
still need to walk several kilometers from the bus stop to most of the beaches; only Playa
El Coco and La Flor are close to the road. The road is being paved with the hopes of
opening an international border here.
Playa Remanso
The most accessible in a cluster of pretty beaches, this crescent of white sand has OK
surfing, interesting caves, and good swimming and tide pooling. The smallish beach break
would be good for beginners if it weren't so crowded. Word is you can camp on the beach
for free (but watch your belongings). There are no hotels here, but you can check online
for a private beach house rental (remansobeach@gmail.com) .
Playa Tamarindo
The next beach south, Playa Tamarindo, a half-hour walk from Playa Remanso, is gener-
ally less crowded; surfers come with the rising tide to try for a long wave with right and
left breaks, which can get hollow coming off the rock wall when swells are under 1m.
