Playa Hermosa

This surfers’ paradise is a buzzing hub of activity with a laid-back ambiance, only 5 minutes from central Jaco. Whilst just a short distance from neighboring Jaco, the vibe in Playa Hermosa is more chilled and slower-paced. The town reflects the surfer lifestyle with low-key bars, relaxed restaurants, and a welcoming atmosphere. Playa Hermosa offers the best surfing beach in Costa Rica and attracts experienced surfers from across the globe. Whilst most visitors to Playa Hermosa come for the waves, the beach and town have plenty to offer non-surfers. If you are searching for adventure, you will find it in abundance in Playa Hermosa. Take to the sky and enjoy an aerial view of the captivating Costa Rican coastline as you float over the ocean on a paragliding activity or zip through the rainforest canopy on a zipline. Alternatively, you can enjoy the views in a calmer way when you board the Pacific Rainforest Aerial Tram and head up high above the jungle. Horse riding is on the activity menu for those who prefer to remain on land, while those who love to scuba dive will find a vibrant underwater world in the Costa Rican waters. Playa Hermosa truly is a haven for adventure-seekers, and with so much to do, you will never want to leave.
