Colorado
Edit SpotAbout
Super crowded now that the condos are built. 30 plus surfers in the water all day long every day but a world class wave. There are a lot of very nice, expensive houses to rent in hacienda Iguana and there is an affordable place to stay called Dale Dagger's surf shack, less than a five minute walk to Colorados break.
Atmosphere:
This is one of the most consistent and best surf spots in Nicaragua.
Additional Info:
Colorado is a consistent rivermouth/beach break. The waves are fast, hollow, and a lot of fun. Check out www.surfiguana.com(condo) or giantsfoot.com(surf camp) or look up Colorado Surf Shack on Facebook for more pictures/information.
