‹Monterrico on the Pacific coast is a must for that beach getaway. 

 

A hot spot with Guatemalans from the City and Antigua, Monterrico can be a busy but lazy beach break on the weekends and holidays.

 

Whether you fancy world-class deep-sea fishing, bird watching, lounging in a hammock or on the shore, or simply sipping a margarita and catching yet another dazzling sunset: Monterrico´s got it!

 

Don't miss the sea turtle hatchery project.  If you're lucky you may witness a baby turtle make its way to the Pacific for the 1st time. 

​

Alternative Pacific Coast destinations worth a mention and a visit:

​

  • Sipacate, Guatemala's secret little surfer beach Northwest of Monterrico.​
  • Las Lisas, where the mangroves and ocean mix.  Southeast of Monterrico.
  • Puerto San Josè, another popular Guatemalan family beach with a local airport.​

Pacific Coast, Monterrico

If tropical delights are more your fancy, head to either one of Guatemala´s Coasts to enjoy hot temperatures and that coastal vibe!  You only have to decide if you prefer Caribbean or Pacific (or maybe you´ll just have to visit both)!
