Here you will find soft, rock-free sand, gentle, rhythmic breaks, local pros giving surf lessons, and the laid back attitude that has made Jaco Costa Rica famous. The south end of the beach is less than a 2 minute cab-ride from Jaco’s hotels and shops. If you prefer to get your feet wet, you can stroll from the mid-section to the south end of Jaco Beach in less than 20 minutes.
