Punta Jesús María
A slender sandbar reaching about 1 km into the lake. Facing Concepción Volcano at sunset, it is the island’s most classic sunset spot.
Punta Jesús María lies about 5 km south of Moyogalpa. In the dry season, when the lake recedes, a long sandbar emerges that lets you walk out to the middle of the lake, with Concepción Volcano behind you. There is a simple snack bar at the entrance. Arriving one hour before sunset is ideal. In the rainy season, when water levels are high, most of the sandbar is submerged. It takes about 15 minutes by motorbike or tuk-tuk from Moyogalpa.
