Surf With Purpose: Our Holiday Feeding Program

There's a tradition at Still Salty. Every holiday season, we provide food for local families who can't afford it during Christmas—and this camp falls right in the heart of it. Guests who want to are invited to join us for the feeding program: a chance to give back to the community that makes this coast so special, and to experience the holidays in a way you'll carry home with you. Come for the surf. Leave having made a difference. It's the rare Christmas vacation that gives as much as it gives you.

Our Location: Oceanfront Surf on Nicaragua's Northern Pacific Coast

Located on the rugged Pacific coast of Northern Nicaragua, Still Salty Escape sits just steps from uncrowded beaches and consistent waves that are ideal for surfers of all levels. Our oceanfront retreat blends laid-back luxury with tropical charm, featuring a private pool, oversized hammocks, lush gardens, and an open-air yoga shala.

With walkable surf breaks, stunning sunsets, and peaceful natural surroundings, it's the perfect base for a holiday surf camp in Nicaragua—and an unforgettable alternative to the usual Christmas plans.
