Location

Pelícano Popoyo is located on Nicaragua's Pacific coast, near Playa Popoyo — about 1h45 from Managua International Airport (MGA) by car. The roads are in good condition year-round and the drive south is straightforward. This stretch of coast is known for its surf, wide open beaches, and a rhythm that slows you down from the moment you arrive. No resort strips, no crowds, no noise — just ocean, wind, and space. From Pelícano, you're steps from three of the best surf breaks in Central America:
· Popoyo Main Break — 2 min by moto

· Beginners Bay (Playa Sardina) — 10 to 15 min on foot

· Santana — 10 min by moto

And within easy reach for day trips:

· San Juan del Sur — 35 min

· Granada — 1h15

· Masaya & Catarina — 1h15

· Chacocente Reserve (turtles) — 30 min
