Jaco tourist information
A swimmer might be intimidated by the waves that ravage the cinnamon-colored sands of Jacó, but surfers from around the world heard the call and brought a subculture with them which locals have now embraced. Almost every establishment offers a discount for surfeadores, and with good reason---those muscular bodies are what keep the economy going in this simple, tourist-trap strip of a town. Such a young, active crowd also lures quite a number of surfers, swimmers, and partiers from San José on the weekends, when the music never stops thumping and the beer never stops flowing. Of course, all this activity comes with a price---restaurants charge just a little more, budget accommodations aren't quite as cheap, the streets are littered with tour agencies and all sorts of trash, and crime and prostitution become more common with each passing year. Nonetheless, there is a peace to be found on the ink-black sand and crashing waves of paradise-worthy getaway Playa Hermosa, just a few kilometers south.
