Never been to Nicaragua?

Travel writer Amelia Mularz visited the country earlier this year. At one of the five beaches at Rancho Santana, she noted: “How can I be the only person here?” I thought to myself as I stepped foot on Nicaragua’s Escondida Beach. This was in January, two months before I owned a single surgical mask and began using phrases like “social distancing” on a regular basis. But even then, I knew having a stretch of sand all to myself was something to cherish.
