エルココのこのビーチサイドハウスに滞在して自然の熱帯の驚異を発見

We started coming to Playa El Coco in 1997 and, since we kept coming back, we decided we wanted a house here. It was finally completed in March, 2016. Our children learned to ride their bikes, boogie board and snorkel here; saw their first shooting star and have had countless other memorable adventures with monkeys, hermit crabs, dolphins, whales, turtles and more. We rent our house to others so they can enjoy Playa El Coco as well and to help cover the costs of maintaining it. What we like best about Parque Marítimo El Coco, aside from the beach which we think is the best in Nicaragua, is the natural environment we share with wildlife who also live here.

We named our house Casa Tora after the tora sea turtle, leatherback in English, the largest (up to 2 meters long!) and most highly endangered sea turtle in the world. We have seen her tracks on the beach at Playa El Coco and her babies hatch out and go to the sea, but we are still waiting for the chance someday to see the adult. Keeping Playa El Coco as natural as possible, free of noise, lights and contamination is important to us and the toras.
