Description

Jiquilillo is perhaps the longest beach of the Pacific, and one of the most visited during Holly Week. Before and after that, the place is very peaceful and cozy, perfect for relaxing days.

Even though this beach is part of the Estero Padre Ramos Natural Reserve, its inhabitants are mainly fisherman.

There are several restaurants and rustic accommodation for visitors.

Getting There

This beach is located 40 kilometers away from the city of Chinandega. On a private vehicle, you must reach El Viejo city and take the road to Potosí. You will get to the crossroads that will lead you to Jiquilillo and Padre Ramos (there is a sing).

In public transportation: After arriving in Chinandega, take a bus to El Viejo. From there, take another one to Jiquilillo in the market.
