The corridor
Thirteen breaks, and the houses between them
This stretch of Nicaragua's Pacific coast runs from Popoyo in the north to Escameca in the south. Every house in the collection sits inside it, and every pin is placed from a real coordinate — four from the listings themselves, one from the seller's own record — rather than sketched onto the artwork.

Questions people ask
Which San Juan del Sur surf breaks are closest to these houses?
Playa Maderas, Marsella, the bay at San Juan del Sur itself, Remanso, Hermosa and Yankee all sit within a short drive of every house on this page. The table beside each listing gives the three nearest breaks as a straight-line distance.
Can you surf year-round in Nicaragua?
The corridor faces the Pacific and picks up swell all year. Nicaragua's offshore wind is the unusual part — the Lake Nicaragua gap pushes offshore breeze over this coast for a large part of the year, which is the reason the region has the reputation it does.
How far is Popoyo from San Juan del Sur?
Popoyo sits at the northern end of this corridor and San Juan del Sur near the southern end — roughly 60 km apart in a straight line, and a good deal further by road. The map shows both ends of the same coast.
