Costa Rica Beaches – Jacó Adventure & Herradura Relaxation

Jaco and Herradura Beaches: sun, surf, and pura vida with a playful splash

Gold sand, warm ocean, and a soundtrack of crashing waves — Jaco and Herradura are Costa Rica’s twin invitations to turn vacation mode all the way up.

Jaco — the lively beach with a wink

  • Bustling boardwalk energy: colorful shops, surf schools, beachfront bars, and buzzing nightlife make Jaco the place to see and be seen.

  • Surf central: consistent breaks for beginners and intermediates; friendly instructors and plenty of rental boards mean you can stand up by lunch and wipe out in style by sunset.

  • Food and flavor: fresh ceviche, tropical smoothies, and roadside casados (traditional plates) fuel beach days and late-night fiestas alike.

  • Adventure on tap: zip-line canopy tours, ATV jungles runs, and sportfishing charters are all within easy reach when you need a rush beyond the shoreline.

Herradura — mellow, wide-open, and family-friendly

  • Wide, crescent beach: calmer waters and long sandy stretches perfect for strolling, sunbathing, or building competitive sandcastles.

  • Laid-back luxury: upscale resorts and quieter beachfront restaurants offer a more relaxed pace — think sunsets with a cocktail rather than a conga line.

  • Wildlife watch: keep an eye out for pelicans, frigatebirds, and if you’re lucky, dolphins playing offshore.

  • Accessible adventures: horse treks, mangrove boat tours, and calm beginner surf spots make Herradura great for families and anyone craving easygoing exploration.

Why stay with us near Jaco and Herradura?

  • Flip from party to peaceful in minutes: wake to a tranquil Herradura sunrise and be in Jaco’s buzz by lunchtime.

  • Beach activities for every mood: surf lessons, yoga on the sand, paddleboarding, deep-sea fishing, or simply a hammock and a book.

  • Pura vida hospitality: enjoy local flavors, warm service, and the kind of island time that stretches your smile.

Come for the waves, stay for the pura vida — whether you want to ride, relax, or roam, Jaco and Herradura deliver sun-soaked memories that pair perfectly with our Costa Rica home vibes.
