Jaco Beach, often frequented by surfers who hit the waves with unparalleled enthusiasm, is the place to go when looking for smooth sand and laid-back casual atmosphere. Jaco has something of a reputation as a 'party beach' - especially during the dry season, frequently visited by young peaple and vacation-package visitors. After the dryness of Guanacaste, this is the first beach on the Pacific coast to have a tropical feel.
