Surfing

Popoyo reef itself is one of the most famous surf spots around the area. It’s the most consistent wave with a long-running A-frame breaking over a rocky reef shelf. Popoyo reef breaks on all tides and has over 300 days of offshore wind and that’s why it is Nicaragua’s most consistent break. Popoyo Outer Reef Popoyo is 10 minutes paddling from the inner reef. It is a big wave spot for experts only. It’s exciting to watch for the people at the beach and from the channel.
