We came and then left this place. Our truck couldn't fit under power lines so we couldn't get near the water which wasn't nice anyway. There wasn't any beach to walk on with tide up I guess Lots of people, friendly, kids were all over around the truck. The restaurant wasn't open. Overwhelming trash It just didn't feel like the right place for us.

Start with the good: lady who owns the restaurant is a sweetest woman who can cook great food with available ingredients and most importantly very honest, you’ll not get shortchanged over here.

Not so good: I would not describe this place as wonderful. There is a lot of plastic trash around, no running water to wash hands and as I arrived on Saturday, there were drunk people walking around, shouting and playing music til 2am. Could be different if you arrive on a weekday.

Just come here if you have a 4x4 or solid sand driving skills - we have neither and had to stick to the village centre, could not reach the actual spot. Not so nice as you get all the attention and have to endure some fish smell and rubbish, less wind and therefore more bugs, as well as longer walks to the baños. The shrimps at the mentioned place were good and cheap though! And the view and sunset on the volcano dotted bay are magnificent. But just come here if you can drive the beach to position yourself out of the centre to enjoy this rustic/authentic/ rundown stretch of coast. People were weird but overall friendly and the feeling was relatively safe.
ADD: we were awoken at 1 am (Saturday night) due to some action outside. Family? Drunken? We don't know but not a nice feeling. Someone slammed our backdoor shut, might have been by accident.

What a find! Not a bad road at all - bumpy for 1km but entirely passable on our old Sprinter (no 4WD). We were swarmed by about 10 kids as soon as we pulled in, who were friendly and polite but pushy and forward. They climbed on the ladder and were thrilled with some mangos we shared. The village dogs weren’t in good health but were friendly enough with our dogs AND cat. The place is SUPER quiet and the food was divine. We were treated to amazing stars and bioluminescent algae (or plankton?) during a calm nighttime swim.

Thanks for this wonderful discovery jettat33.
This place is exactly as described and pictured. Raw beauty. Peaceful and honest people.
The shrimps are to die for.
Parked the jeep on the sand, wouldn't recommend a non 4x4 for the last 100m.
We did look around between Nacaome's hot springs and the Nicaragua border and this was pretty much the best option.
Would come back just for the shrimps.

“Rundown” was the wrong descriptive word for this place, rustic is more apropos.

An open air restaurant at the end of a dirt road, directly on the Pacific shore, with volcanos in the distance. We found this place empty, a sort of rustic looking place and sat at a table in the sand, under a tin roof held up by thin logs. A lady came out and asked if we wanted food. She was very friendly. We ordered fish and shrimp. It was very good served with plantains, and very inexpensive. The owner arrived and spoke English. Also very friendly. She said we could put our tent up right under her shelters and offered us hammocks to sleep in. The strong breeze kept us cool and kept any bugs that might have been there away. She said the place was safe, with only a handful of locals in the area, but the van was not parked far from where we set up. It was raw natural beauty. There were local dogs around so I’m sure pets would have been welcome even though we aren’t traveling with any. Our kids played with the local kids there. They didn’t charge us to camp there, to use their toilet, (which you had to carry a bucket of water to flush), or to use their hammocks. I wouldn’t recommend big rigs as the road is rough and the sand soft. We were in a 15 passenger van with no problem.
