Playa de Jacó is a long stretch of beach located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The number-one attraction here is the surf, and this is definitely a surfer-dominated beach town. Beyond the surf, Jacó is also known for its nightlife. A range of bars offer everything from live music venues to relaxed lounge environments to beachfront sports bars with pool and foosball tables.

Getting there from San José is fairly simple; head west out of the capital and take the Southern Coastal Highway to the Jacó exit. From there, it's a straight shot down the coast - the drive will take about one hour. Buses from San José are another good option, leaving approximately every two hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In addition to surfing, Jacó offers a variety of other activities including biking, canopy tours, golfing, horseback riding, kayaking, sport fishing, and scuba diving (to name a few). With so much to do and see, vacation rentals in Playa Jacó offer travelers the opportunity to try it all. Book yours today!
