Surf Lessons in Jaco: Beginner's Guide
Learning to surf in Jaco — when to go, what lessons cost, and the best spots for beginners.
Why Jaco is great for beginners
Long sandy beach breaks, warm water year-round and dozens of surf schools right on the beach.
Booking a lesson
Group and private lessons usually include a board and rash guard. Mid-tide mornings tend to have the friendliest waves.
Next level
Once you can catch green waves, head to Playa Hermosa or Boca Barranca for longer rides with a local guide.
