With only 2.5 hours (approx 117 km) drive from the capitol, San Jos, Jac beach or playa Jac is one of the most visited beaches in Costa Rica.
The long sandy beach has a shape and ocean floor that promotes big waves, very much to the delight of most surfers visiting Costa Rica.
The most common route to take when going from San Jos down to Jac is to drive via Alajuela, continue to Atenas and further down the dark green slopes of the west side of Costa Rica until reaching San Mateo. Continue from there to Orotina and take highway 34 straight down to Jac.
Also make sure to peek through the car windows when passing el rio tarcoles (tarcoles river) where you can see the natural habitat of the enormous crocodiles of the Tarcoles River and the mangroves.
The Beach

The playa is a bit over 3km in length from one end to the other. It makes a nice walk and if your legs give up on you, the local taxis will be more then happy to help you out. You can also rent cars and bikes.
For reading, keep your eyes open and look for Jac News, a monthly English language publication.
