Poneloya and Las Peñitas | Nicaragua Real Estate Aurora

Twenty minutes from the bustling town of Leon is Nicaragua’s next tourism hot spot--the beaches of Las Penitas and Poneloya.

These adjacent fishing villages have grown slowly, retaining their authentic character as fishing villages while locals and foreigners invest in tourism programs alongside each other. Local seafood remains the star of the restaurant scene, but new options offer everything from paella to pizza to poutine.

Recreation options include surfing lessons, kayaking, deep sea fishing, horseback riding, yoga and boat tours to the nearby Isla Juan Venado nature reserve, which features a mangrove forest sanctuary for sea turtles.

Thanks to its proximity to Nicaragua’s largest cities, Las Penitas/Poneloya are our most popular destinations for vacation rentals, providing income earning potential for you as an investor/part-time resident.
