Poneloya

Las Penitas is located just down the beach from another popular Nicaraguan beach town, Poneloya.

San Juan Del Sur

San Juan Del Sur is another beach town located on the Nicaraguan Pacific coast line. San Juan Del Sur is the number one beach town in Nicaragua and home to a lot of expats and rich Nicaraguans.

Buying groceries

Although there are several restaurants and bars along the beach that offer beer, soft drinks, snacks, cigarettes etc there aren’t any kiosks or grocery stores there so you need to leave the beach and go to main street or beyond if you want to buy groceries to make your own dinner or want some fruit and bread for your packed lunch.



Playa Roca

Location: Playa Roca is located halfway down the Las Penitas main road, just after the exit to the second road.

Information:

Playa Roca is one of the more expensive restaurants in Las Penitas. Expect to pay 7-8 USD for a main course. Unfortunately the food does not warrant the higher price and many of the cheaper restaurants offer better food.

The service is usually rather good and it is rare having to wait to see a menu or to order. The restaurant is beautifully located on the beach. Unfortunately the outer limits of the restaurant have been damaged by waves during recent storms. The environment will receive a higher mark once this has been repaired. Most of the chairs are plastic.

You can usually find a lot of gringos and expats in Playa Roca at night and it can therefore be recommended as a place to meet other English speaking individuals.

Playa Roca offers Wifi at 25 Cordoba/hour but the service is often offline or otherwise unavailable.
