Las Peñitas Beach
Las Peñitas
A beach in a Pacific fishing village about 20 km from León, with surf schools and oceanfront hostels. A great spot for sunsets and learning to surf.
Las Peñitas is a quiet Pacific fishing village with a long, dark-sand beach that's ideal for strolling and watching the sunset. The waves suit beginners, and there are surf schools and board rentals. Along the coast are oceanfront restaurants and hostels where you can stay a night or two. The southern end of the village is the entrance to the Isla Juan Venado Nature Reserve. From the Sutiava district of León, the bus ride takes about 40 minutes. Pacific waves are strong and the currents are swift, so take care when swimming.
