Surf lessons with Ali
Surf lessons at playa jaco with Ali. Surfing lessons will be the highlight of your jaco experience we promise! Every guest that stays with us and does a lesson tells us this! Learn to ride the waves of the Pacific in a super fun easy going surf lesson!
All ages welcome ! Even my parents who are in their late 60s did a lesson with Ali and LOVED it!
Jaco Beach Costa Rica
Everyone’s jaco highlight!
My favourite sunset beach
Such an amazing beach completely different to playa jaco! This beach is a professional surfing beach so don’t swim there! But, I recommend going here for sunset especially on a Sunday when there is a surf competition!
There’s lots of bars where you can grab a drink
Playa Hermosa
This beach is paradise!
Amazing view point
Gorgeous View point over the whole of jaco in an abandoned restaurant
Get a view over the whole of jaco in a really cool abandoned restaurant covered in graffiti! Just a twenty minute walk will give you the best view over jaco! Stunning at sunset also!

Best soda in jaco
GET THE GALLO PINTO YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
The pinto is next level here! And the service is great and it’s kind of an upper end soda in that there’s table service but also it’s so cheap! The best Costa Rican soda food in jaco in our opinion!

Conselhos sobre a cidade
Deslocar-se
Walk or get an Uber!
You can walk everywhere in jaco but Uber is also a super easy cheap option and is the best way to ensure you get the right price rather than a taxi!

Eat at sodas!
Eat a sodas ( the typical Costa Rican restaurants) to save money! Breakfsst for two is usually 7000 colones ! And a dinner is also super cheap! We recommend soda marea alta
