Punta Jesus Maria
Punta Jesús María is a narrow strip of sand stretches out into Lake Nicaragua, which can reach as far as 1 kilometer into the lake during dry season. You can walk on this strip of sand, with water splashing in from both the left and the right. During the raining season, however, the water level of the lake rises and this strip of sand can totally disappear. This point is famous for its spectacular views. You can also see the mainland on the other side of the lake, including the Mombacho Volcano close to Granada.
