Tucked away in the northern region of Nicaragua lies the hidden gem of Punta Miramar. This secluded paradise offers a unique surfing experience, away from the crowds often found at other popular surf spots. Punta Miramar is known for its consistent and powerful waves that break over a rocky bottom, providing an adrenaline-pumping challenge for experienced surfers.
With offshore winds and consistent swells, Punta Miramar is a year-round destination for the surfers that want to escape.
“While southern Nicaragua is known for its high concentration of spitting, sand-bottom tubes, the north is more spread out. There’s variety, too — pointbreaks, reefbreaks, rivermouths, beginner waves, experts-only spots, etc. But like the south, the real draw here is the beachbreak barrels — board-snapping, bone-crunching beachbreak barrels”. surfline.com
A short distance south of Punta Miramar lies another surf haven, Puerto Sandino. With its long river mouth, Puerto Sandino offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking to catch your first barrel wave or an advanced surfer seeking challenging barrels, this coastal paradise has it all.
