About
Playa Jaco:
This long stretch of
beach is strung with a dense hodgepodge of hotels in all price
categories, cheap souvenir shops, seafood restaurants, pizza joints,
and even a miniature-golf course. The number-one attraction is the
surf, and this is definitely a surfer-dominated beach town. Surfers
love the consistent beach break here (and at neighboring Playa
Hermosa). However, the beach here is not particularly appealing. It
consists of dark-gray sand with lots of little rocks, and it's often
very rough. Still, This is the most touristy beach in Costa Rica
and is a prime example of what happens when rapid and unregulated
growth hits a beach town. However, on the outskirts of town and close
to the beach, there's still plenty of greenery to offset the chaotic
jumble of the town's main street. In fact, after the dryness of
Guanacaste, this is the first beach on the Pacific coast to have a
tropical feel. The humidity is palpable, and the lushness of the
tropical forest is visible on the hillsides surrounding town.
