Fun In The Waves and Sun!
At the beach at Jaco, you’ll usually find a friendly mix of local ticos and tourists whose mission it is to enjoy the friendly surf and sun as much as they can! Like most beaches in Costa Rica, the surface can change from the seasonal weather patterns and tides. In the high season from December to April, it is usually all sandy, and during the rest of the year, it can have smooth pebbles mixed on the surface, but the bottom is always basically sandy. Unlike other beaches, like nearby Hermosa, under “normal” conditions of light waves, there are usually no dangerous currents. However, when the surf is up, you could get caught in a riptide or undertow, so be cautious. Don’t panic; swim on a diagonal back to shore. There are a few lifeguard towers, but they are usually not manned except in the high season.
Jaco = Surfing!
Surf Town, Jaco, Costa Rica
You definately know you’re in a surf town when you go to Jaco! Surfing has always been a big draw to Jaco as the waves are friendly to beginners, and 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 stay for those on a budget, and, of course, the flavor of surfing’s influence is everywhere!
