SURF BREAKS: Colorados is a fast, barreling beach break with many peaks and A frames. It is a challenging break and best for intermediate to expert surfers. Panga Drops is just a 10-15 minute walk up the beach and breaks on a horse-shoe shaped rock reef. This wave generally has a mellow take off and a more vertical and playful inside section. This break can be good for long boarders or short boarders. Panga Drops amplifies swells and is usually bigger but more forgiving than Colorados. At the very north end of the beach there is a point break, Los Perros Point, that needs a good swell with the right direction to break, but with the perfect combination it can provide very fun rights. We can also arrange boats to any of the 10+ surrounding breaks.
SAFETY: Hacienda Iguana is a very secure community with 2 sets of gates to enter, guards posted around the community, The security staff in place insures that you will feel very secure and comfortable to roam around the community and beach as you please. The security is just for piece of mind as the whole Tola region is very safe and you will find that the local Nicaraguan community is extremely humble, friendly and helpful.
