About Cayos Perlas
An archipelago of small Caribbean cays 45 minutes by boat from Pearl Lagoon, the Cayos Perlas are fringed with turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, coconut palms, and some of the most intact coral reefs on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast. The wildlife refuge protects nesting sea turtles — primarily hawksbill and green turtles — as well as tropical fish, lobsters, nurse sharks, rays, and dugongs. The Miskito communities have inhabited and managed these islands for generations.
