Jaco
Beach is located in the Canton of Garabito. Because of its
closeness to the Central Valley, the 4 km long straight strech
of Jac Beach is frequented not only by tourist and surfers
fom all over the world, it is also the most popular beach
for the young Costa Rican crowd. The gayish-yellow sand beach
has a surf with its strong waves and is perfect for surfers
but only recommended for good swimmers since strong currents
claim victims almost evey year. Jac is a town that exclusivley
lives from tourism but has a complete infrastucture with
hospital, hardware-stores, supermakets and endless restautrants,
hotels, casinos, discos and cabins, for any budget from.
We recommend Jac plainly for beach-life, sunbathing, beach-games,
beach-walks, beach horse-back rides or for young families,
on a small to medium budget and to surfers. For all nature
tours you have to drive a little. You can enjoy some of the
backlands if you take a horseback-ride up to the hills, that
offer beautiful views and lots of wildlife. Hostels in Jaco Beach |
