Jaco Beach, or Playa Jaco, is one of Costa Rica's most popular beaches. Located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Jaco Beach is very appealing due to its natural beauty, proximity to San Jose, and challenging surf. With majestic cliffs at either end of the sweeping three-kilometer beach, gorgeous panoramic views, and consistently big waves and breaks, Jaco Beach draws surfers from around the world to this wave worshiper's paradise.

Jaco Beach has earned the reputation of being Costa Rica's wildest party beach. Jaco offers a boisterous nightlife with discos, nightclubs, casinos, and busy bars. However, for those who seek a more mellow beach experience, Playa Herradura with its unique black sand is a mere six kilometres north of Jaco Beach.
Jaco Beach is the main attraction of the coastal city, Jaco, but there are many wonderful opportunities to enjoy the natural wonder that surrounds the area. Carara National Park, home of the Scarlet Macaw, is located 25 kilometres north and features varied wildlife and dense rainforest. Tarcoles River provides the opportunity for salt-water crocodile sightings. There are wonderful opportunities for adventure including offshore fishing, horseback riding, boating and sea kayaking excursions, canopy tours, hiking in the bordering jungle, ATV tours, crocodile safaris, white water rafting and surfing lessons at the local surfing schools.
With many high quality hotels and restaurants, surrounding beauty, and numerable tours and activities, Jaco Beach is a truly special vacation experience.
