San Juan del Sur is a town along the southern Pacific coastline of Nicaragua and is one of the most popular places in the country among travellers looking for relaxing, fun, beaches and surfing. The town has around 20,000 inhabitants, but the total population including tourists is much higher for most of the year.
The nearest airport is in Managua, from where there are regular domestic and international flights.
Regular buses and collectivos connect San Juan del Sur with Rivas and other towns and cities in southern Nicaragua. From Rivas, you can connect to other destinations including international buses towards Costa Rica. For buses to Honduras and further beyond, it is best to connect in Managua.
Most of the town and beach area is walkable, but a regular taxi could come in handy sometimes.
