Costa Rica's Surfing Town Jaco Beach

Everywhere you go, you hear of someone getting back from an amazing vacation in Costa Rica. With 755 miles of coastline on two oceans, it’s no wonder. So many great surfing beaches in such a close proximity, you can be on the Pacific Coast one day and the Caribbean Coast the next. You can always find great surfing in Costa Rica, anytime of the year.

You definitely know you're in a surf town when you go to Jaco Beach! Surfing has always been a big draw to Jaco Beach as the waves are friendly to beginners.

The beach is long with many surf breaks and it has a sandy bottom. Of course, all this requires support services for surfers - board repairs, surf shops, economical places to eat and cheap Costa Rica hotels to stay for those on a budget, and, of course, the flavor of surfing's influence is everywhere!
