Jaco
Inside Scoop
It has every type of lodging, from $10 cabinas with the beach out back to the Los Suenos Marriot, with it's own golf course "private beach". If you take your car surfing, never leave any valuables in it, but you should bring your passport and drivers license - since there are plenty of places where the police are waiting. What is nice is that from Isla Damas to Boca Barranca, it's well paved and wide open. The views are also fantastic, so enjoy the ride. Jaco has plenty of shops for surfers and souvenier hunters, as well as a hefty nightlife. So get up early to catch some waves like these below, because by 9 the wind could be on it, with thirty other "friends".. For the freshest info, check out - www.JacoWire.com
