Practical Information
Edit ThisThe town of San Juan del Sur itself is relatively safe, but some of the surrounding beaches are not safe for foreigners or tourists. Be sure to ask around town about which beaches are safe to visit. The local taxi drivers, who tend to congregate around the market (one block in from the ocean, about mid way through the town), can probably tell you which areas are safest.
As of this writing, in early 2008, tourists should not visit the Remanso or Yankee beaches, as many foreigners have recently been held up at knifepoint on those beaches.
On the other hand, the Madera, Majagual, and Coco beaches have a reputation for being safe.
