Description

What most people don't know is that Jaco is adjacent to many beautiful swimming and surfing spots. Warm, sandy beaches, world-class surfing breaks, and gentle waves for swimming are all within reach. The Jaco area offers beach destinations that are perfect for a day of fun in the sun. In this article, we'll be exploring some of the best local swimming and surfing spots and offer inside tips about where to swim, catch a great wave, or just enjoy your day on the beach. Surfing and Swimming in Jaco Beach Playa Jaco is a dream destination for both surfers and swimmers. With an annual water temperature of around 83°F, the waters are perfectly warm year round. Playa Jaco is renowned for its consistent waves that cater to both beginners and seasoned surfers. With a long span of coastline, surfers will have plenty of space to catch the perfect wave. Both the northern and southern ends of the beach offer good waves for surfing. Bigger, longer, and more consistent waves can be found on the northern end of Playa Jaco, which provides great conditions for experienced surfers. The southern end of Playa Jaco offers smaller waves and fewer people, making it a perfect spot for beginners learning to surf or intermediate surfers looking to try out new techniques. The central portion of Playa Jaco is a great choice for swimmers. The waves are smaller and less consistent than the northern and southern ends of the beach, making it the perfect spot for families or individuals looking for a refreshing dip. Less powerful waves break closer to the shore in the middle section of Jaco Beach providing a relaxing backdrop as you enjoy your sun-soaked beach day. You’ll want to wear plenty of waterproof, high-SPF sunscreen and bring your own beach towels from home so you can spread out on the sand after your swim.
