Where to Stay
http://www.casalarocque.com is a good choice but look into renting a house for a week or a month! http://www.elportonverde.com/beach-house-rentals-in-nicaragua/casa-ayers-in-pochomil/
Access & Parking Info / Cost
Plenty of parking and there is a charge to enter the Balneario Pochomil although you can drive a bit further south to avoid the (moderate) fee.
Equipment Hire
A couple of local guys have some boards to rent but don't expect too much, best to bring your own boards or if you'll be in Nicaragua for awhile, buy in SJdS and sell again at the end of the your stay.
When its Flat?
The fishing village has a few bars & places to go dancing and restaurants/hotels if you want to relax by a swimming pool. Great seafood!
