Around an hour bumping along on a local bus from Leon and you're at the seaside in a place called Las Penitas, a long stretch of dark, volcanic sand with a few houses and places to stay behind it. We were very happy to find out that there is a lovely beach close to Leon and it was a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon. 
The Pacific is pretty rough here and crashes abruptly on to the steeply shelving beach. 
You wouldn't want to go out of your depth but just round the corner and protected by a thin stretch of land are some much calmer waters where lots of kids splash about in safety and vendors sell tasty snacks and icy treats on the beach.
