Jaco Beach, The Capital Of The Pacific Coast
Jaco has been the focal point of the Central Pacific Coast for a couple of decades; it lures surfers, beach lovers, partygoers and those who seek a swim/surf/shopping/night life combination. Jaco is located in the province of Puntarenas, less than an hour away from San Jose, making it the closest beach of the capital. It has an incredible choice of restaurants, hotels, restaurants, lounges and clubs, and some of the greatest waves of the country. Jaco is the most exciting party Beach of Costa Rica, and its restaurants and bars bring in gourmets in search of a meal with a view over a flamboyant sunset.
So Much To Do In Jaco
Jaco is a surfer’s beach by excellence; its breaks never disappoint avid surfers, while the riptides can be dangerous for swimmers! Once surfers have recovered from their thrill, the abundance of nightlife will take care of them. Besides, Jaco is close to other famous surf beaches; Playa Hermosa is where the most hardcore surfers choose to go; just 6 miles north of Jaco, this is where you find world-class surfing and not for the faint hearted. Indeed, Hermosa hosts a yearly surfing convention. South of Jaco is Playa Herradura, home of Los Suenos and also known for its fantastic breaks. Jaco has however a lot more to offer than just great waves; see the crocodiles on the Tarcoles River, and visit the Carara Biological Reserve, an incredible nesting ground for the beautiful Scarlet Macaws. You will also enjoy other Eco-Tourists activities such as horseback riding, hiking, river kayaking and canopy Tours.
