Jaco Beach is the quintessential little surfing town. The waves are rad, the surfers are skilled (both locals and tourists), and the concept widespread. You will find surfing schools, surf shops and surf-themed restaurants all throughout town!
El Miro is renowned for its spectacular and scenic view of the town and the beach from high above. It's only a 30-minute peaceful hike up the mountain through the trees. Exercise, fresh air and peace.
Picture this - your skin warm in the sun, cooled down by the ocean spray, the sound of the waves in your ears, all around you all is blue. Few things beat the relaxation that comes with the luxurious fishing charters and trips found in Jaco and Los Suenos Marina.
When in Costa Rica - you just have to be one with nature - and why not add some action to it? What's your pick - zip line canopy in the jungle, ATV trips to the waterfall, dirt bike tracks in the open fields, white water rafting in hostile waters? There are many nature and adventure tours to choose from!

Start the morning off with Eggs Benedict at Green Room, grab a slice of New York-style pizza at The Pizza Shop for lunch, go to El Point for a cocktail to watch the sunset, to El Hicaco for dinner and order a grilled red snapper - you can't go wrong! Try clubbing at XTC or Republik!
