💡 Travel Tips

  • Jacó is Costa Rica's party beach town—expect lively nightlife and surf culture
  • Visit Carara National Park (30 min) for scarlet macaws and transition rainforest ecosystem
  • Playa Hermosa (10 min south) is better for serious surfing—bigger, more consistent waves
  • Take boat tour to Tortuga Island for snorkeling and white sand beaches
  • Rainy season (May-November) still sees daily sunshine—mornings are best
