Playa Marsella
A quiet bay on the way from town to Playa Maderas, with gentle waves, a few beachside restaurants, and a great spot for sunsets and swimming.
Playa Marsella lies about 7 km north of San Juan del Sur, on the road to Playa Maderas. It is a calm bay with gentle, shallow waters, good for swimming and kayaking. A few small restaurants and boutique lodgings line the shore. It is quieter than Playa Maderas, which suits visitors who don’t surf. Water birds are sometimes seen in the mangroves at the nearby river mouth. The shuttle from town to Playa Maderas usually passes this beach; you can also reach it by bike or taxi.
