San Juan del Sur has that cute town beach that I posted a picture or two of earlier, but the beaches that people really want to see when they come here are several kilometers north or south of town, on side roads that start off paved, quickly switch to gravel, become increasingly pot-holed, and eventually climb alarmingly graded tracks over the consistent rise right along the coast before descending steeply to beachy paradise.
On our second Sunday off, most of my fellow students, our teachers, and I piled into a pick-up truck and headed north from town to beautiful Maderas beach. It was a day of walking on the sand, (attempted) surfing, tacos, (for me, hiding from the) sun, watching all of the beautifully tanned real surfer people prowl around, enjoying the ramshackle collection of colorful clapboard beachside restaurants and services, and gawking at the gorgeous sunset. So amazing.
