What does it all mean?
The Surf Awaits at Playa Yankee in Nicaragua!
For decades, Nicaragua has been the destination of choice for surfing aficionados and enthusiasts from around the globe. With about 330 days annually of offshore winds, Nicaragua’s southwest Pacific Coast is a magnet for amateur and professional surfers. And Playa Yankee is one of the hottest surfing hideaways this country has to offer.

Deliciously empty, private beaches adjacent to spectacular Nicaraguan tropical foliage.
Majestic and pristine, Playa Yankee’s sands and rocks have an untouched and untamed appearance.

Let Playa Yankee test your surfing mettle
Playa Yankee’s superb beach break acts like a left point on the south side, allowing for a consistent take-off point in the middle of frothy seas. Incoming swells are sizable and challenging, making Playa Yankee an ideal hotspot for surfers to hone their skills or try something new.
Primary Colors, a notably “fickle” point break on Playa Yankee’s north end, tempts even advanced surfers. Though Primary Colors is best tackled during low tide, it offers surfers potential for a true adrenaline rush all day under the right conditions.
