About Playa Jaco
Bustling with surf, sun, and action, Playa Jaco is a famous surf town in Costa Rica.Â
Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, Jaco’s black sand beach is protected by two rocky points on each end. This protection blunts the power of incoming swells, making Jaco a great beginner and intermediate surf spot.
We offer surf lessons, surf camps, and surfboard rentals.Â
Beachgoers will enjoy the incredible sunsets, the palm-tree-dotted coast, and the flying scarlet macaws.
Located right in the center of the country’s Pacific Coast and a mere hour and a half drive from San Jose, Jaco is within driving distance of all major attractions in the country.Â
As a major location for both national and international tourism, Playa Jaco offers many more conveniences than other beach towns along the Pacific Coast – grocery stores, farmer’s markets, restaurants, bars, gyms, shops, and more are all within walking distance.
