Q: What are the top tourist attractions in San Juan Del Sur?

Mirador del Cristo de la Misericordia: Climb the hillside steps to the base of the statue and look over the crescent bay and open Pacific. Feel the breeze and trace the curve of beaches to the north and south. San Juan del Sur Malecón: Stroll the waterfront as fishing pangas come and go and the sun sets behind the headlands. Grab a bench to watch surfers rinse off and families gather along the shore. Playa Maderas: Ride steady beach breaks or watch from the sand as locals and travellers share the lineup. Explore tide pools at low tide and refuel at simple beach shacks. Playa Hermosa: Spread out on a long, quiet strand with plenty of shade and soft waves. Rent a board, swing in a hammock, or walk the shoreline where turtle tracks appear in season. Parque Central and Iglesia San Juan Bautista: Sit under palms in the small town square and watch daily life roll by. Step inside the modest church for a quick look at its bright altar and simple nave.
