Jaco
Jaco is one of the fastest expanding beach towns of Costa Rica. This rapid expansion is due to it´s close proximity to San Jose, the capitol of Costa Rica. Jaco can be reached in under two hours by car, which makes it an attractive destination for both locals and tourists. Jaco has recently added large chains such as an Auto Mercado many of the common north American fast food restaurants. Many massive condominium complexes are currently being built such as Jaco 1.
The weather is Jaco is good year round, although there is more rain from May until November. Jaco is well known for it´s surf and many surfers from around the world come to try it out. Jaco is also well known for it´s open prostitution. Prostitution is legal in Costa Rica, however very few places make it as obvious as Jaco. Drugs are also becoming problematic in the area bringing higher crime rates along with it.

Hello Matt,
Well, regarding jobs, I must admit we can’t be of much help. Legally you need a work permit to work here in Costa Rica, however you may be able to find a hotel or surf shop looking for an extra hand. Regarding the women, Jaco is a place with lots of prostitution. Many of the women there are working girls. This is only common in Jaco and Tamarindo.
The surf however, is really what Jaco is all about. It is one of the only places where you can surf year round. If you are looking for a great instructor, just let us know.
