Discover Jaco Beach - Full of Surf and Nightlife

The waves

The most popular town in the area is Jaco, once an archetypal sleepy beach town whose small economy was driven by fishing. But it wasn’t long before Jaco Beach’s excellent waves drew foreign surfers exponentially. Along with the surfers came the need for nightlife. Jaco is one of Costa Rica’s most happening party towns and a top destination for wave worshipers and land-lubbers.
Also, one of the biggest advantages to Jaco Beach is the location, meaning the proximity to everything; we’re just 2 hours away from the capital San Jose where you’ll find top-rated hospitals and American-style shopping malls and 1hr 30 minutes from the international airport San Juan Santamaria.
Another big advantage to the area is the availability of fee simple titled beachfront land. 95% of Costa’s Rica beachfront land is under concession law. So if you’re seeking a safe investment on the beach, this is one of the rare areas where you can find it.

Downtown Jaco

Residents and visitors discover Jaco Beach by strolling down Avenida Pastor Díaz, the main street in this extremely tourist-friendly location. Also, the signs on the buildings say a lot about the atmosphere of the town “El Hicaco,” the best sushi in town you will find in Ohana, and the best pizza in Wishbone. If you’re new to the surf scene, book a few lessons at one of the many surf schools. You’ll be riding waves in no time.

Hermosa Beach and Herradura beach

The Central Pacific coast also encompasses towns like Hermosa Beach, about six miles south of Jaco. Playa Hermosa was home to the Billabong World Surfing Games in July 2009. This beach was chosen due to its consistently high level of surfing waves.  Check the live surf cam in Hermosa.
Less than four miles north of Jaco Beach is Playa Herradura, demonstrating a good example of the changing scene on the Central Pacific. The site of a rare black-sand beach, Herradura, was once a quiet seaside village that attracted mainly Costa Ricans and foreign campers. Since the development of the Marriot Los Sueños Golf Course Resort, this area has become a prime destination for expats and Ticos. Discover Jaco Beach and enjoy walking along the palm-lined shore, spending the day fishing, golfing, or swimming in the dark blue waters.
