I found these pachycereus (Anderson nomenclature Stenocereus eichlamii) on beaches just north of San Juan del Sur on the Pacific coast.

Stenocereus at the beach
Stenocereus at the beach
I had heard of cacti growing down to the high water mark on Nicaraguan beaches but I was expecting Opuntia guatemalensis, not the big columnars.

Re: Stenocereus at the beach
Gorgeous photos! It's one of my favorite species. I believe it's in myrtillocactus now?
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Hunt lists it as Pachycereus aragonii and Lode as Marshallocereus aragonii.
That reminds me I need to re-do my country list to cross reference the names with Lode 2014 and Hunt 2016.

Wow they don't seem to mind the salt at all!
Re: Stenocereus at the beach
Nice Pictures. I am also surprised that the salt air doesn't bother them.
