During the major holidays, especially in Easter, this little town becomes so wild that it doesn't sleep as visitors not only from all over the country, but also from different parts of the world come in and crowd its streets and have a blast. During these holidays, many nationally recognized discos, radiostations and other companies organize parties along San Juan del Sur's beach and main street. These events attrack thousands of visitors who come not only to enjoy the beach and the sun, but also to have a nice time at these parties, which last all night long. In my opinion, San Juan del Sur is the Nicaraguan version of Cancún.

San Juan del Sur is, in my opinion, the second(to Montelimar) most visited beach by international tourist. That could be because this town's port became the first in the country to receive cruises. Due to the constant flow of visitors, I think this little town has a very bright future, as Rivas.

This bay has a reputation for being a paradise for aquatic sports lovers, especially surfers. According to international surfers who have tested the bay's big waves, it's one of the best place to surf in Central America. It's also a nice place to go jet skiing, sailing as well as finishing.
