| JACO BEACH AND TOWN
|
| |
Jacó Beach is located in the Central Pacific Coast only 2 hours away from
San José ( 102 kms ). This intensively vibrant beachside town is sort of
like Newport Beach in California with the heat turned up a couple of notches,
though there are not nearly as many people and buildings. The long, sandy shore
full of sand, surfers, young women in bikinis and all the rest - the Baywatch
of Costa Rica - is backed by a long strip of hotels, restaurants, shops, bars,
and lots of other businesses catering both Costa Rican and foreign tourists. This
beach is definitely the most heavily visited beach by Josefinos. One of the principal
attractions of Jacó is surfing, with the beach breaks right out from of
the town producing consistent surfable waves, and close proximity to other excellent
surf spots like Playa Hermosa and Playa Escondida. The highlight of Jacó,
however, is the night life. This place rocks every night of the week almost all
year round, with myriads of bars and nightclubs. Jacó attracts a mix of
surfers, weekenders and holidaying Ticos, from party-hearty students to working-class
families.
