The best thing you can say about Playa Jaco is that it's the closest beach to San José. Just three hours (102km) from the capital, it attracts a mix of surfers, weekenders and holidaying Ticos, from party-hearty students to working-class families. If you've been stuck in San José and are desperate to get to a beach, you might want to take advantage of the weekend specials at larger hotels like the Best Western Jacó Beach . But if you have dreams of swimming in the Pacific off pristine white sands, forget it - for one, the water is reported to be polluted near the estuaries; and elsewhere it can be dangerous.
