Chinandega Beaches
Chinandega is perhaps the hottest department of Nicaragua due to its geographical position.
The beaches of Chinandega are diverse, there are very popular beaches that are visited any day of the year. But there are also other beaches that are much more remote and difficult to access, but are certainly an adventure if you dare to visit them.
