Jaco Vacation Rental house

Surfing & Fishing: Most of the surfing lessons for all of Jaco Beach are give right in front of Casa Rio Mar. This is because of the very gradual beach having little undertow, evenness of the waves having a form easy for beginners. The Los Suenos Marina (5 minute drive from Casa Rio Mar) is where over 200 fishing boats are on docks. Boats that can be booked for day fishing trips range from 18 feet to 55 feet in length . You can catch all varieties of deep sea fish depending on the season: sailfish, marlin, rooster fish, tuna, mahi mahi and spanish mackerel are but a few of the many types of fish that can be caught. Costa Rica coastline is one of the best sportsfishing locations in the world.

Shopping and Restaurants: The town of Jaco has been a surf town for Americans since the 1960’s. The main street in Jaco is filled with restaurants, gift shops, clothing shops and souvenir stands plus all the business the locals frequent. Start at the south end of town and walk your way north along main street and you will find any type of shop you want. But remember to bring US dollars or local colones because most places don’t take credit cards. There are well over 100 restaurants in the greater Jaco area serving a wide variety of choices including local favourites, pizza and seafood. Three favorites are Claritas for more American food, Bohio Grill for seafood and Backyard Bar for just absolutely anything. All three are on the beach with the Backyard Bar having the best view.

Crocodile Man: One of the most memorable tours you can take is the Crocodile man tour. After about a 20 min in the bus ride you board a covered boat for a four hour tour of a river leading into the ocean. You will see indigenous birds, wildlife and crocodiles, lots of crocodiles.. The highlight of the tour is when one of the guards feeds a piece of raw chicken to a crocodile at least 10 feet long – right beside the boat! Not a tour to be missed.

Other Activities: canopy tours, ATV tours
