Jaco Surfing Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Share the water with San José locals. The two-hour drive keeps no one from Jaco's great waves.
  • Warm up on mild waves before attempting the more challenging surf at nearby Hermosa Beach.
  • Reserve energy for the hopping nightlife: Several bars, restaurants, and clubs keep the streets as lively as the surf.
