The Giant's Foot Surf Camp is an intimate surf lodge on the beach in Gigante, Nicaragua. There are no tourists, a few ex-pats, a few locals, and a lot of cows and pigs. Otherwise it is just us and our guests hanging out. See photos and descriptions below. Giant's Foot Surf is located in Gigante, Nicaragua, a small rural fishing village on the southern Pacific coast. A stay with us takes you just off the beaten path of established surf tourism towns like San Juan Del Sur and at the same time brings you closer to all the great breaks that southern Nicaragua has to offer.

We house ourselves, and our guests in two adjacent beachfront lodges with personalities all their own. The guest house has six rooms, a large living room, small public bathroom, and kitchen / bar area. All rooms are double occupancy with full beds. Two of our rooms have 2 queen sized beds that are bunked to accommodate couples and giants. At full capacity we are able to accommodate twelve guests. Every room is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and a private bathroom.

We have a full service bar on site, as well as a ping pong table, fire pit, and hammocks galore in which to relax and take in a gorgeous sunset after a hard day of surfing. We also have a library of movies, books, and board games available. People spend a lot of time on the beach and around the fire just hanging out. We play a lot of poker, and games in general. Gigante is pretty quiet. There is Keith and Maria's bar with a big screen TV a short five minute walk away and at certain times of the year there are a few bars open that consist of a stand, a branch and palm frond shade structure known as a rancho (or palapa) maybe some corrugated metal siding to keep the pigs out, a few plastic tables and chairs, a juke box, and a cold beer. Otherwise there are no shops to buy things at. Its just a small sleepy village, that wakes up to party once in a while.
