About This Seaport
Connected to the mainland only by a causeway built between 2004 and 2007, El Bluff sits on a spit at the mouth of the Escondido River in Bluefields Bay, about 11 km from the city of Bluefields. The port is home to Nicaragua's largest fishing fleet and handles mainly frozen fish, shrimp, lobster, cabinet woods and limited general cargo and petroleum products, rather than containers. Shallow piers around 3.4 m and the historic lack of road access mean much freight is still lightered to Bluefields. Fuel is available and a small dry dock supports limited repairs, but customs-cleared international container traffic is not the port's role. For containerised foreign trade, forwarders use Corinto on the Pacific coast, while Puerto Cabezas is the alternative Caribbean option.
