If you are a Surfer, this is the place to visit. Every saturday the Backyard bar has a surf tournament. So you can come and have a beer while you can watch some of the best surfers of CR. Highly recommended.

Shopping
they have the best and unique souvenirs and costa rican arts. It is the only place I recommend for souvenir shopping. They have a sister store called The coffee experience. They sell good coffee, vanilla, dry pineapple and artisan chocolates. Also cool t-shirts

Sightseeing
This beautiful hotel has amazing ocean views and an amphitheater that overlooks the oceans. You can come and have a drink and enjoy the sunset. I do not recommend the food. It is overpriced and nothing special.

You can not leave Jaco without stopping at the tarcoles bridge to see the crocodiles. Or even better take Jose's boat tour to get a super close look, you can even touch them!!!
