Cayos Perlas beaches

Cayos Perlas is a group of small islands near the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. This is little-known and remote place with excellent postcard beaches - with palms hanging over water, white sand and almost no tourists. In many places there is the algae in the water, but globally it is not a problem. Some islands are made private by illegal owners, but your guide will give detailed information on where it is better to stay. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

In Cayos Perlas there are several hotels, many of which were built illegally. Therefore, the current situation with accomodation options should be asked in Laguna de Perlas, when buying the tour to the islands.
