Top Surf Spots You Can Reach by Motorcycle
Here are some of the most surf-friendly beaches near San Juan del Sur you can reach easily with your rental:
🏄 Playa Maderas
A favorite among locals and travelers, known for its consistent swell and cool community vibe. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned surfers. The ride is scenic and short—ideal with a dual-sport bike or scooter equipped with a board rack.
🏄 Playa Hermosa
A wide, peaceful beach with long waves and fewer crowds. It’s a great escape just south of town. The road has improved, but we still recommend a dirtbike like the Hero Xpulse 200cc or Honda XR150.
🏄 Playa Yankee
For advanced surfers, this remote break offers strong barrels and empty lineups. Accessed via a partially paved road, it’s the perfect challenge for riders looking to pair surfing with a true off-road experience. We suggest bikes like the Honda XR190L or Suzuki DR 200cc.
