Workation in Jaco: the essentials
Jacó is one of the easiest Pacific beaches to reach from San José, which explains both its popularity and its high-rise condos. The dark-sand beach runs for 4 km and draws surfers, with bigger waves at neighbouring Playa Hermosa and the scarlet macaws of Carara National Park a short drive north. Restaurants, supermarkets and short-term rentals are easier to find than in Costa Rica's smaller beach villages. The town also has a long-standing party reputation, and the main strip can be loud at night. Juan Santamaría airport is about 85 km away.
