Sunset views in Jacó, Costa Rica
Stunning Sunsets > Lauren Salisbury
The sunset time in Jacó is consistent year-round, as is the case throughout Costa Rica, setting between 5:30 and 5:50 p.m. For the best sunset views in Jacó, Costa Rica, there’s only one place to head – the beach. Playa Jacó is a 2.5 mile strip of sandy beach, flanked by cliffs and jungle. From the beach, you also have a clear view of
Photo by Jorge Russell
Tortuga Island, filled with wildlife and even more pristine beaches. Anywhere along the beach will offer a stunning sunset. If you are looking for mountains in your sunset view, head to the North end of the beach near Playa Herradura. From here you will also be able to see Isla Palma.
cocktail sipping is on your If agenda during a sunset view, head to the South end of the beach. Relax at Tiki Bar and take in a view that includes palm trees as well as the setting sun. My personal favorite view of sunset in Jacó is near the ocean’s edge. Your view will be uninterrupted apart from the occasional surfer who is taking advantage of the
last few minutes of daylight to hang ten. The shores of Jaco,Costa Rica are a great place for sunset viewing. There’s no better time at Playa Jacó than sunset. It will truly change your view of the myth that Playa Jacó is anything less than a beautiful beach.

Hidden JacĂł Treasure Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely views from the rooftop. Great pool, good food, 30 secs to sweet waves. The rooms are bright, airy, modern and clean. We had a double room on the third floor and had a gorgeous view of the sea to wake up to. The staff was amazing, the food was incredible, the location was perfect, the owner was very accommodating. 2643-4949
Morgan’s Cove Offering free Wi-Fi, the bright, relaxed rooms also have safes and cable TV, as well as terraces or balconies with views of the pool or the gardens. The resort has an open-air restaurant and an outdoor pool featuring a sundeck and a swim-up bar. The casino features a lively sports bar, and offers slot machines, card games and roulette. Many other amenities including direct beach access. 2643-3347
Jaco Lodge www.jacolodge.com This place is a great place a little piece of paradise just minutes walk from the beach and thr town. Just far enough that it's quiet at night. Has banana & papaya trees and a nice pool. Just awesome & the price is great. I stayed somewhere else and paid more for less. Also no problem with my 60lb service dog. Owner is super nice and very helpful. 2643-4453
Mango Mar www.hotelmangomar.com The hotel is far enough away from the main street that your sleep is not disturbed by any of the activities on the main drive. Nice Staff busy kepping it all in good shape and clean. The pool is big enough to cool down and splash in and the water is always crystal clear. 2643-3670

Claritas Beach Grill & Hotel The sound of the surf is very therapeutic. I have stayed at Claritas for three seasons in a row, and appreciate how the staff makes me feel welcome and at home at the hotel and beach bar. The rooms are simple and comfortable, and the location on a quiet end of the beach is lovely. I had to do some work in the mornings, and as I typed away at my laptop my view was of the ocean. My friends and I attended the wednesday party and cuty contest, and everyone was ready to party. The pool is a great place to relax and throw parties as well. Room Tip: The second floor rooms are best.

South Beach www.hotelsouthbeachjaco.com This is a nice,quaint hotel at the south end of Jac贸 beach, far from crowds, and with a direct access to beach. Friendly, good food, great pool and lots of beach. Good food and nice people that run the place. Have the pasta with seafood and cream sauce! The 5 star aspect of this hotel is undoubtedly the staff: they were beyond accommodating and welcoming, always super friendly and helpful. Jac贸 Beach Municipal Palace 600 Mts South | Tel: 2643-3419
Villa Caletas www.hotelvillacaletas.com This is what vacation should always look like; great location, facilities & staff. The hotel is beautifully designed and it maintained with great care. The sunsets are amazing, but the best activity is just hanging in the infinity pool with a cocktail in hand, looking out over the pacific. The location is close (driving time) to San Jose, but really another world. And so much better, different from any of the other alternatives in the Jac贸 area. Costa Rica has many beautiful places. This one allows you comfort, elegance, and still the feeling of enjoying nature and the surroundings. 2 km after Punta Leona Herradura. Tel: 2630-3000
Villa Creole www.hotelvillacreole.com This charming little hotel is in a nice, quiet neighbourhood. The owners are friendly and helpful. We were quite early for checkin, but the quickly accommodated. The owners, Nicholas and Jenny are real friendly, informative and friendly. If you need help, ask them. The pool is great, large, warm and very relaxing. The property is gorgeous. The breakfast is excellent, and the grounds are beautiful. It's a bit of a walk to Main Street, but if you want quiet and security... Calle Europa, 20, Jac贸. | Tel: 2643-5151
Tuanis Aparthotel www.hoteltuanisjacobeach.com I walked into the office and was warmly greeted by Ricky, the owner of the establishment. He said he would show me his lowest price room and we could work our way up from there. I stepped into the room and immediately said, "This will work!". I was so relieved to see how spacious it was. Nice large flat screen, A/C, hot water shower, fast in-room wifi, and SUPER clean. It also had a pool that my son thoroughly enjoyed after a hot day at the beach less than a block away. Ricky is very friendly and helpful in every way. Couldn't ask for a better place at a better price. All the amenities you could want and the hotel is run completely on solar power! Very cool.
Room Tip: Ricky also showed me a 2 bedroom apartment that was knock your socks off nice! Tel: 2643-2094 | By Platinium Gym

Gelato Lounge
Marsican Tastfully Engaged! Marsican Gelato opened its doors in 2014 and carries it's name after a type of critically endangered Italian brown bear. The owner Sarka Peri, found her real passion in handcrafting artisan gelato from scratch starting on a small home machine.

1. Costa Ricans call themselves ticos (males) and ticas (females). 2. It’s not a big deal to see someone walking around with a machete. Although it’s more common in the countryside, ticos use machetes for everything and often keep one on them. They’re considered the Costa Rican equivalent of duct tape. 3. Costa Rica is only slightly smaller than Lake Michigan. And has 801 miles of coastline. 4. Ticos often refer to their significant others as their “media naranja”. Which means “the other half of their orange.” 5. Costa Rica’s president, Luis Guillermo Solís, won the 2014 election with over 77% of the vote. This was the largest margin ever recorded for a free election in Costa Rica. Previously, Costa Rica’s president was Laura Chinchilla, Costa Rica’s first female president and sixth female elected for president of a Latin American country. 6. Costa Rica has more than 121 volcanic formations, with seven of them being active. 7. The country is host to more than 5% of the world’s biodiversity. Even though its landmass only takes up .03% of the planet’s surface, more than 10% of the world’s butterflies live here — there are about 750,000 species of insects that live in Costa Rica, and 20,000 various kinds of spiders. 8. Costa Rica has no standing army. They abolished the army in 1948 after their last civil war ended. 9. Costa Rican women don’t take their husband’s last name. And instead use their full maiden name for life. Children take their father’s name but add their mother’s maiden name to their full name.

Crocodile Bridge
Stop for a cold beer!
While violent crime is rare, petty theft, especially from tourists is common. The most likely places for things disappear from are cars (locked or not), beaches, bus luggage compartments, and hotel rooms. Leave your valuables at home. If you don’t bring it you don’t have to worry about it. If you have to bring it leave it locked up. Making ID copy is a great idea to walk around with.
On your way to Jacó, stop at tarcoles bridge. There is a small restaurant on the left handside. (the coldest beer available on earth) From the bridge you can see many salt water crocs, sunbathing. Watch out for ongoing traffic. Don’t fall, be safe and enjoy. This whole area is definitely worth a stop.
USE SUNBLOCK!
Bring your ID at bank In order to change money, you will be ask for your ID or Passport, bring some patience too. The laidback and easygoing pace is what you'll love, but here it is the same. So keep that in mind when traveling and just try to relax.
SPF 25 or higher very recommended, and use it! Don't ruin your vacation with a bad sunburn.
Miro’s Terrace Locally known as Cero Fresco. A local attraction in the south side of Jacó. A uphill track that leads tostunning terraces, offering panoramic views of the Jacó Bay. Miro’s Mountain is a perfect choice for every adventurer - as long as they’re prepared. Bring good shoes, sunblock, and water. Enjoy the views!

10. Instead of saying a woman “had a baby,” ticos say “ella dio a luz.” Meaning, “she gave light.” 11. Every Costa Rican radio station plays the national anthem every morning at 7am. 12. Until a few years ago, wearing shorts was a sign of disrespect. And government buildings wouldn’t allow visitors to enter unless they were wearing long pants. 13. Pedestrians are called “targets.” And speed bumps are called “son muertos” — in English, “(they are) dead people.” 14. Costa Rica is considered one of the most valued environmental destinations in the world. There are over 100 protected areas to visit, and 25% of the country has protected forests and reserves. 15. Ice cream flavors in Costa Rica are interesting and sometimes slightly weird. Flavors include coconut, goat cheese, wild blackberry, peanut, sour cream, chipotle blueberry, chocolate almond, and more. 16. You could easily call Costa Rica the unofficial hummingbird capital. The country is home to over 52 species of hummingbird. 17. Pura Vida is a happy, feel-good expression. Pura Vida is used regularly by the locals when asked how they are or in passing to say hello or goodbye. 18. Costa Rica has an exceptionally high life expectancy of 79, one of the highest in the world. And receives international praise for its modern healthcare system, where it’s ranked 36th in the world by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world’s seven Blue Zones, a place where people live longer and happier lives, and has a high concentration of people over age 100.

Mono Verde
Bar and Grill
Absolutely LOVE Mono Verde! Been so good for years. The margaritas are awesome, and the staff is the best! The food is outstanding - the stuffed avocado appetizer is so good. I am not necessarily a avocado guy - until now!! Service is professional, prices are reasonable considering the nicely appointed dining area and the quality/freshness of the food. Great décor and the air conditioned area was our preference considering the warm weather. Highly recommended by locals
Their friendly bi-lingual staff will be happy to help you select the best meal! Their new breakfast menu is phenomenal, and they offer 3 options daily for just $4. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 7am to 10pm, on Mondays from 11am to 10pm. Jaco center, in front of El Lagar. Tel: 2643-0222

Heladeria El Barco Artisanally Handmade. Heladeria el Barco, believe ice cream should be a genuine treat. Using traditional manufacturing they have developed recipes and flavours to bring back the true experience of farmhouse dairy ice cream. They have a selection of 34 flavours of ice cream and refreshing fruit ice cream, and other invention, that Roberto (owner) can make. However this figure grows at an almost daily rate! Talking about dedication, this is the “Créme de la glace”... Enjoy! Jacó Downtown. Tel: 2643-1119 By Mono Verde | Banco Nacional. There were some problems only coffee and ice cream could fix.” - A.E.

Amazing Experience Nice and Spicy Food !!!
Jerah Restaurant Thai & Balinese Cuisine We selected Asian cuisine for taste for our dinner from. We are locals from Jaco, but we do love Asian food. Jareh Restaurant is located just off the main road in the north side of Jaco Beach. A Lovely buidling with a magestic tree.. You can seat opendoor in the main dining room area... Nice brezes. The service and greetings were beyond expectation... All staff was helpfull and polite... The place is very quiet and simply but nicely layed out. We ordered 3 dishes...they all came in good sizes. Enough for two persons. For the first time I would say... the best Thai food I have ever had, beside San Jose, and of course Thailand. Very amazing and authentic taste. A fair selection of drinks are available too. I certainly will come back to this restaurant in the future. Located: Calle Anita, Entre Bar Isaga y JacĂł Club BlĂš Tel: 8359 2067

at CROC’s Casino Great place to gamble. The most like a Las Vegas casino with Blackjack and craps along a few of the other card games. It wasn't crowded on Thursday night, much more people on Friday night. Some great restaurant on 1st floor, good food, cozy ambiance.
Get to see many types of birds and crocs up close and personal. Each croc is nicknamed and comes with a "personality perspective". The tour boat driver even gets out of the boat and feeds the crocs... and yes more up close and personal then any of us would do! www.crocodiletour.com Tel: 2637-0795

If it's crocodiles you're after! www.crocodiletour.com | Tel: 2637-0795
A “must do” Tour in Tarcoles River If it's crocodiles you want to see, then Jose is the guy who can find and feature them for you. He has named the crocs on the Tarcoles River and introduces them individually as they approach. Osama Bin Laden, a monster who often hides, measures between 19' and 21'. Once found, he allows Jose to lift his tail to the edge of the boat, where you can inspect and help hold the tail. If you dare that is... He speaks English and Spanish. He has a great sense of humour and is very informative.
Croc’s Facts · Crocodiles can live up to 80 years! · The first crocodiles appeared 240 million years ago, at the same time with the dinosaurs (to which they are related). · Crocodiles can swim just with the help of their powerful tail with 40 km (25 mi) per hour, and can stand underwater 2-3 hours.
Do this tour if possible, going on a hight tide, and close to sunset.

Did the snorkeling and kayaking trip. Had a great time. Excellent guides. Enjoyed the kayak out, the time in the water, and the time to rest and eat fruit on the beach. One of the highlights of our time near Jacรณ. The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea. -- Isak Dinesen

Zip’ Line Facts · Original zip line courses were built as a means to transport people and goods across rough terrain. Some anthropologists and historians believe that people in areas like the Himalayan Mountain Ranges have used zip lines as a means to transport goods for over a hundred years! · Scientists studying the rainforests of Costa Rica needed a way to enter the forest without disturbing the animals.

Costa Rica's Escazú is famous for witchcraft where, historically, people took to mountain caves to secretly practice their religious and magical rituals. Despite being a rich suburb of San José, brujas (witches) can still be found, offering readings of tarot cards and a whole range of “other services.” The annual Carrera de Campo Traviesa Al Cerro Chirripó is a race to the top of Costa Rica’s highest mountain and back. To date, the record time is 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 3 seconds. Guaro, moonshine rum made from distilled sugar cane, is Costa Rica’s indigenous spirit. Cacique is the best brand of guaro, and most people mix guaro with Coca-Cola or Sprite. It is believed that Costa Rica was the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s, Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island is thought to be modeled on Costa Rica's Isla del Coco. Many famous pirates and privateers such as Sir Francis Drake, Captain Edward Davis, William Dampier, and Mary Welch visited the Costa Rican island. Allegedly, they left troves of buried loot, although treasure hunters over the centuries have failed to discover more than a smattering of the purported bounty. Costa Rica abolished its armed forces in 1949 and has no standing military. However, the country still maintains a small force to enforce laws and assist with foreign peacekeeping. Costa Rica’s national symbol is the clay-colored robin known as the yigüirro. Costa Rica’s largest body of freshwater is the manmade Lake Arenal. Arenal Volcano is the most active volcano in Costa Rica and one of the most active in the world. In 1968, Arenal erupted and destroyed the town of Tabacón. It last erupted in 2010. Arenal is the most active and youngest of all the volcanoes in Costa Rica
Ollie’s Point in northeastern Costa Rica was named after American Colonel Oliver North, the famous and felonious former lieutenant colonel at the center of the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal. The beaches and ports of northern Guanacaste like Ollie’s Point were a staging ground for supplying the Nicaraguan Contra rebels. Legend has it that during a news broadcast of an interview with North, some surfers noticed a fabulous point break going off in the background. Hence, the discovery and naming of Ollie’s Point. Each year, Costa Rica hosts what many consider to be the most grueling and challenging mountain bike race on the planet, La Ruta de los Conquistadores (Route of the Conquerors), which retraces the path of the 16th-century Spanish conquistadors from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea—all in 4 days. The race takes place in November and draws hundreds of competitors from around the world. The sun rises and sets in Costa Rica at the same time every day 365 days a year, due to its close proximity to the equator. The Guanacaste (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) is Costa Rica’s national tree. The distinctive tree is known for its broad, full crown, which provides welcome shade on the Guanacaste’s hot plains and savannahs. The tree is also known as the elephant-ear tree because of the distinctive shape of its large seedpods. The province of Guanacaste is named for the tree. In the sleepy town of Manzanillo, Costa Rica, there is a thoroughfare called Mista Cracker Jack Street. Other streets are named after old citizens who have passed on, and Manzanillans call their cemetery “the Ole Buryground.” In 1995, a group of Costa Ricans residing in Nicaragua near the border established the Republic of Airrecú, named for the Maleku Indian word for friendship. The 170-square mile (440-sq km) nation was formed from the belief that the area was mistakenly ceded to Nicaragua, and their president, Augusto Rodríguez, presented documentation on behalf of their claim to the United Nations. Even though Nicaragua has refused to allow the 5,000 residents of Airrecú to secede, the Airrecú movement continues, and they even have a flag and an anthem. The single largest factor affecting Costa Rica’s economy is its national debt. In 1981, the country was the first in the world to default on its loans.

"The brand values of NSP, Nature - Science - Passion, are deeply embedded and shaped into every board, so the team jumped on the opportunity to work with Sustainable Surf. NSP has a track record in waste reduction and is an early adopter to reduce environmental impacts through the use of more sustainable materials and efficient manufacturing processes without affecting the boards performance, durability or quality" – Martin Ferrand - NSP Marketing. NSP started using Sicomin GreenPoxy bio resins in 2016 where up to 35% of the resin's molecular structure is derived from plant origin. For 2017, 90% of our range will be using bio resin"! Greenepoxy is a significant new technological and environmental innovation offering a transition to new bio-resins - away from traditional 100% petrochemical based epoxies. NSP is renowned for producing highly durable boards which last longer than traditionally built boards offering better value to all our customers
