The Best Place to Learn to Surf in Nicaragua
Make your surfing dreams a reality at Magnific Rock Hotel. Perched atop a headland with 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, our hotel is a short walk from ‘Beginner’s Bay’. Yup, that’s its real name because it’s the perfect spot for a Nicaragua Surf Camp!
A Nicaragua Surf Camp at The Beach
Unlike most Nicaragua Surf Camps, you won’t need to drive to get to the most popular beginner surf break. Staying in our stunning ocean-view hotel, you’ll have access to the best waves in Nicaragua just by walking.
Beginner’s Bay
Want to learn how to surf? Look no further. Beginner’s Bay is the place to hone your skills. Considered the mecca of Popoyo, this relaxed bay gives consistent rolls to get up to speed, craft your style and live the dream. With perfect left-hand point breaks, you’ll have everything you need to master the art of surfing, without the pressure of extreme waves.
More Than Just a Surf Camp
Oh, and you’ll do more than just surfing! Whether you want to spend your free time with a drink enjoying the ocean view or you’d rather do Yoga or go horseback riding, Magnific Rock offers a variety of activities to make for the ultimate escape trip!

5 World Class Surf Breaks for Experienced Surfers
Popoyo’s Main Surf Break
Picturesque and peaky reef break gives various waves for all skill levels within just a short walk of our hotel, Magnific Rock. With symmetrical a-frames, carvable walls and the chance for head duck or barrels, this is the Popoyo’s surfing hotspot.
Here, the seabed is made up of a combination of submerged reef and sand. Truly stunning, our guests often take the trip here once they’ve mastered Beginner’s Bay.
Popoyo Outer Reef
Outer Reef is a World Class heavy, heaving wall. This is not for the faint-hearted. Known as the bigger and angrier brother of waves that break off the nearby shores, these monstrous waves are located within walking distance of Magnific Rock.
Tempting the bravest of surfers, we regularly have guests at our hotel who return in awe of the iconic 20-foot faces. If you’ve seen a photo of heavy Nicaragua surf, it was probably taken here.
Santana’s Surf Spot
Santana’s surf spot is a classic, central American break with fast, pumping hollow beach break which catches most swells. During larger swells, this location turns into a barreling playground. This is a hotspot for local rippers, with safety away from the boats that try to avoid the nearby rocks.
Playa Colorado
With steady offshore winds from Lake Nicaragua, this wave provides perfect tubes year-round. Want to shred a sand bottom barrel? This is your chance!
Lances Left
Catch the longest wave of your life at Lances Left. Located near to our Nicaragua Surf Camp, this is great for every level of surfer. Peeling off a remote headland, this location provides wave breaks in almost any swell direction and is protected from harsh winds.
