Playa Hermosa is a dark sand stretch of 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) of beach known for consistent surfing waves and an easy-going, laid back atmosphere. It is a short 9-minute car ride down the mountain road from the guest homes. If you are looking to experience the best of Central America, make sure to hit the beach for surfing (or other beach activities)!

Please note beginner surfers are advised to start in Jaco Beach as the riptides and swells in Playa Hermosa are large and can be very dangerous for beginners.

There are several local beachfront restaurants along the coast line for you to visit and enjoy the local cuisine. During high season, often there are surf competitions and beach parties along with weekly events from local musicians, artisans and DJ's.

Jaco is a thriving beach town with a growing population of approximately 12,000 people that is a 20-minute drive from the guest houses. As the closest beach town from the capital of San Jose, it is a favourite destination for locals and tourists alike. Jaco is the most developed beach town in Costa Rica! You can find everything such as pharmacies, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, ATM's, souvenir stores, car rentals, all-inclusive resorts, spas, & specialty shops.

It has all the amenities from local sodas to explore local cuisine to ice cream shops to weekly Farmers' Market and everything in between to make your stay at The Mountain Costa Rica a memorable one. Many travellers use Jaco as a hub to explore many close by towns and attractions.

Owners live on the property in a separate private residence and are always available for advice on dining, site-seeing, adventure tours, local culture, farmer markets, and local events. We own several dogs so if you see Nash, ZaZa or Lucy about on the property, please feel free to give them a pat and send them back to our place.
