Only a 20 minute drive from Leon is Las Penitas on the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Northern Nicaragua.
Next to the beach is Juan Venado Wildlife Reserve home to many birds and yes, crocodiles.
The 22 km island is also the nesting area for sea turtles.
The beach has regular surf and is great for bodyboarding or swimming!
The best area of the beach for swimming is in front of Playa Roca Hotel!
The nearby rocks are also a nice place to fish, sunbathe or just admire the beautiful sunsets
