Playa Hermosa, a strip of black sand lapped by the frothing waves of the Pacific Ocean, is one of San Juan del Sur’s premier surfing destinations. Located in Camino Ostional, slightly off the beaten path, this beach offers a more secluded experience compared to the bustling central beaches. Visitors can enjoy the unique texture and color of the black sand beneath their feet and the rhythmic sound of the waves, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. The consistent surf conditions also attract both experienced and novice surfers looking to catch some waves.
