Tasbapauni is a seacoast hamlet in Nicaragua, forty five miles north of Bluefields. The main ethnic groups are Creole and Miskito.

Local residents have made fortunes reselling cocaine bundles which wash ashore after going overboard from Colombian drug runner speedboats. They have nicknamed the bundles "white lobster."
