On the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, Pearl Lagoon is yet to be discovered by the majority of tourists. With the strong Creole culture, fantastic seafood, Saturday afternoon baseball games and laid back vibes this is a great place to while away some days. However, Pearl Lagoon's real draw are the Pearl Keys. A handful of deserted islands a few hours away by boat, this is the place to live out all your Shipwrecked/Robinson Crusoe fantasies. We spent the day snorkelling, eating coconuts and relaxing on this tiny island - our group of 6 were the only visitors to the keys that day (and about 75% of the tourists staying in Pearl Lagoon). Both amazing destinations and worth the effort to get to!
#BeachBound South East Side
Waking up early while on vacation usually isn't something I'm eager to do. But this particular morning my friend and I couldn't sleep so we got up to watch the sunrise, just steps from our beach side bungalow. We decied to go for a wander down the deserted beach, listening to island wake up. #BeachBound
