This area presents approximately a 19\u00b0 &#8211; 22\u00b0 angle from the beach to the shore break, providing long easy right and left hand breaks. So if you are in the beginner stage or use a long board or boogie board, I highly recommend this area (this spot extends from Madrigal&#8217;s street to Hidalgo&#8217;s street). Given that this area of the beach has the easiest waves and safer spot for kids on their first steps as surfers. <strong>Prime time to surf 2 hours before high tide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Center of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/jaco_real_estate.html\">Jaco<\/a>, this area extends from Hidalgo&#8217;s street to Bohio&#8217;s street. This part of the beach has two river mouths; Corey river and Quebrada Seca river and presents a 22\u00b0-30\u00b0 angle from the beach to the shore break, this combination of steeper beach angle and two river mouths running into the ocean makes it a more challenging wave for intermediate to advanced surfers. It&#8217;s common to see some of the professional surfers as well as the Costa Rican champions training on this area of the beach. This is the closest area of all town amenities such restaurants, surf shops, stores, medical services, banks, bars and much more, making it a convenience spot after surf sessions. <strong>Prime time to surf 2.5 hours before high tide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; North of Jaco, this part of the beach runs from the Bohio&#8217;s street to Estero&#8217;s street this area presents a 30\u00b0-40\u00b0 angle from the beach to the shore break, this area is the most expose part of the beach to the swells directions and also a very steep beach angle produces a faster more aggressive wave. This spot is where the biggest surf competitions were held such; ISA World Championship 2016 \/ Central America Championship 2016 \/ National Costa Rica Championship Circuit 2015 &amp; 2016 \/ ALAS Pro Latin Tour 2014. If you like fishing, on the north corner on this spot there are some schools showing up at the shore during; September, October and November. <strong>Prime time to surf 2.5 hours before high tide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The north area it has been growing faster over the last 2 years with important developments such Croc&#8217;s Casino and Resort recently awarded as the finest build construction, you can also find nice accommodations at Bah\u00eda Encantada Condominiums, Aqua Residence and Best Western Jaco Beach which is the first beach Hotel in Costa Rica since 1976.<\/p>\n<p>Come and surf with us and don&#8217;t forget to say Pura Vida!<\/p>\n<p><small>Alvaro Solano,<br \/> Properties in Costa Rica Team<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/13934670_1185041601556159_3379289325128447695_n.jpg\" alt=\"Surfing 2\" width=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/13934670_1185041601556159_3379289325128447695_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/13934670_1185041601556159_3379289325128447695_n-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/13934670_1185041601556159_3379289325128447695_n-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertiesincostarica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/13934670_1185041601556159_3379289325128447695_n-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costa Rica biggest Surf Town Jaco Beach is located in Garabito, the youngest county in Costa Rica, it is a black volcanic sand beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1556,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[36,44,31],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jaco Surf Modern Paradise!
