Popoyo Land Dispute

On the beachfront property of Playa Sardina, in front of the world-famous surf spot Popoyo, a dispute is taking place between the historical and present owners of the land, the indigenous community of Las Salinas de Nahualapa, and the US citizen Philip Christopher and La Flor de Mayo, SA. La Flor de Mayo's project Finca Popoyo is being built on communally held indigenous land, showing complete disregard for the laws of Nicaragua.

About Us

POPOYO: Actually located at Playa Sardina, Popoyo surf break was mislabeled years ago.
