Things to see and do Caribbean Coast

A pretty white-sand beach on an island in Bluefields Bay. The ideal place to relax, swim, sunbathe... and even go kite-surfing, for example. Please note: visit the beach on a windy day, as the sandflies (small mosquitoes) from the nearby mangroves are quite voracious. Lanchas (motorboats) visit regularly. They leave from the market pier. Allow 15 minutes for the crossing. They only leave when full, so you may have to wait a while.

This beautiful lagoon, located on the Rio Esconfra, is surrounded by a tropical forest. Here you will see budgies, and with a little chance of toucans. As follows: The restaurant located on the shore also rents horses.

The village of Pueblo Nuevo is home to some 1,500 inhabitants, a mixed population blending very different cultures: Creoles, Miskitos, Ramas, Garifunas, Mayagnas, Ulwas... A visit to the Kahka Creek reserve is an experience that brings you face to face with the indigenous peoples and the surrounding nature. The tropical rainforest offers dense wildlife (including tapirs). Contact the foundation directly to organize your stay.

Declared biological reserve in 1991, the Miskito Miskito are a set of 76 small islands covered with palm trees and mangrove trees spread over an area of about 120 kilometres, at the level of the Cabo Gracias a Dios and to Puerto Cabezas, 45 kilometres from the coast. The greatest cayo is called Big Cay; It is 37 km ² and there is drinking water. According to legend, he would be inhabited by the ghosts of pirates who came to the Atlantic coast several centuries ago… so that nobody sleeps, and that the island is only visited during the day. There are little cabana of stilts fishing. However, it is very complicated and therefore very costly to go there. Apart from the budding explorers, nobody visits the Miskito Miskito at the moment. In spite of all the small paradise islands? Instead, we recommend the Cayos Perlas (access from Laguna de Perlas via Bluefields).

A small museum that traces the history of the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and Bluefields. You'll see exhibits, photographs and objects that trace life in the region over the years... A fine testimony to the multiple identities of Nicaragua, and a good way to discover the area if you're visiting for the first time. What's more, admission is free (although we recommend you leave a donation).

Opening in February 2023, this new museum traces the history of the Sandinista revolution, and more specifically the role of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast in the confrontations. You'll be able to see photographs, documents and objects from the years of conflict, and discover the biographies of some of the key figures from that era. A visit to the museum is an opportunity to learn more about the role of this region in the building of the country.
