Why Jaco? Life on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast

Jaco isn't just a place to live. It's a place to live differently.

Nestled along the Central Pacific coast in Puntarenas-Garabito, Jaco offers one of the most sought-after lifestyle combinations in the Americas: world-class sportfishing, surf breaks, warm weather year-round, and a vibrant international community — all within 90 minutes of San José.

The waters off Jaco and the nearby Los Suenos Marina are legendary. Marlin, mahi-mahi, roosterfish, wahoo and yellowfin tuna are all in season at different points in the year, with marlin running strong from September through November. Whether you're an experienced angler or going out for the first time, local charters like Jaco Royale, Whisper Sportfishing and Jaco Tours Sportfishing put you on the water within minutes of your front door.
