Latest reviews on Managua's beaches

Pochomil Beach
8 Aiden Marlowe

The beach nearby offers a laid-back atmosphere with local cuisine and a relaxed pace. However, the sand may not be everyone's cup of tea as it is dark and muddy. On the bright side, the beach is quite expansive.

Pochomil Viejo Beach
10 Ariana Alvarez

This is a great spot, situated conveniently close to a wonderful beach. The house is very cozy, tidy, and makes the most of its outdoor space. Kenia and Marlon are incredibly attentive hosts. Highly recommended!

Montelimar beach
8 Ethan Jameson

While the beach resort had potential, our stay was marred by a few setbacks. The air conditioning in our room was not up to par, the shower lacked hot water, and the key had some malfunctions. However, the staff provided excellent service and were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The only issue we encountered with the food was during lunch on the first day, when the meats were dry and difficult to cut and chew. Despite these hiccups, the rest of our time at the resort was enjoyable.

Great!

Masachapa beach
6 Notty

The sunsets at this beach are absolutely amazing, and it's conveniently located just a short distance from most hotels. However, the main downside for me was the abundance of litter and plastic scattered around with no one attending to it. Additionally, the water is not very clean due to the nearby river, but the town itself has a charming atmosphere. (Just a heads up, there is a strong fish odor in the area.)

San Diego beach
10 Riva Solaire

This serene and unspoiled beach is an absolute beauty. It's the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, it's important to come prepared with your own cooler, umbrella, and chairs, as there are no tourist shops in the vicinity.

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.
