7 km's to the North is located Isla Juan Venado Nature Reserve.  Juan Venado is 22km long and forms one of the important protected area in Nicaragua. It forms part of the country's national park system and is well-known as a vital coastal wetland region. This region is a known turtle nesting ground, bird nesting region and an nature rich region of the Nicaragua.  We are working to promote tourism and protect this area in a sensible manner.

Juan Venado is part of a biological corridor which includes Isla Real (Tamarindo Beach), Las Penitas and Poneloya. The stunning 22 km Island of Juan Venado is situated 25 minutes from the Colonial city of Leon.  Juan Venado is to the south of the beaches of Las Penitas and Poneloya. As such, it is easy to reach and is popular with tourists. This marvelous natural area of Isla Juan Venado Nature Reserve is well worth a visit.

Tamarindo Beach is currently working with the Alcaldia ( Municipality of Leon) to create a biological corridor for tourism and environmental work.  The corridor is made up of Tamarindo Beach (11km of Isla Real), Salinas Grandes (5km fishing village), Juan Venado Island (22km of nature reserve) and the Town of Las Penitas (northern entrance to Juan Venado).

Tamarindo Beach & Ocean Estates offers an incredible fishing experience.  At both ends of our island, there are communities based solely on fishing.  The fish include sailfish (conventional or fly tackle), mahi mahi,  and near shore rooster fish(one of the most exciting game fish). Rooster fish are common on the ruggest shorelines 20 minutes south.  You will find tuna, and snapper.  The estuary in the back of the island is teaming with red snapper.  We have shrimp bait(from the shrimp farms in Salines Grandes) and bait the line....two minutes is the maximum waiting time for a red snapper at Tamarindo Beach. 

The offshore big game fishing is very good.  Hunt and find sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, tuna, grouper and marlin in blue water.   We look forward to organizing our charter service to complement the hotel activites.     

One of the great aspects of Tamarindo Beach is the amount of activities in close proximity. 

Within a fews hours of Tamarindo Beach & Ocean Estates is the colonial city of Leon, the beaches of Poneleya & Las Penitas, Juan Venado Nature Reserve and several fishing and marine environments.

We are on the ground producing videos and photographer to give you a close look at the properties and surrounding areas.
