SANTO DOMINGO BEACH

A scenic volcanic sandy beach located on the east side of Ometepe Island, dotted with small charming lodges, offering tranquility within a natural setting. The gray color sand of the beach is a living testimony of millenniums of eruptions from Concepcion volcano and its twin brother Maderas. “Playa Santo Domingo” also has a very strategic location on the island, from where you can start exploring the interesting wild life of the area.

Activities:

  • Ojo de Agua, a natural spring located only about 45 minutes walking distance from Playa Santo Domingo. It is a great spot for swimming in clear crystal water containing healthy minerals for the body.

  • Hiking the active Concepcion volcano or Maderas volcano cloud forest are easily reachable from Santo Domingo.

  • Walking to the rural communities where you can learn about the traditions and daily life of the Ometepinos.

  • Horseback riding to archaeological sites to observe the ancestral volcanic rocks carved with interesting figures of animals, spirals, circles, and other figures with ritual representations. Biking to nearby communities, farms, archaeological sites, beaches, and natural reserves are among the choices.
