Learn more about Vacasa Premium Clean >While there are two Playa Hermosa beaches in Costa Rica, with one in Guanacaste, Puntarenas's Playa Hermosa rests along the country's west coast and is about 3 miles south of Jacó.
Playa Hermosa, Puntarenas is known for its ideal surf and stunning jungle views. While the waves are not gentle enough for swimming, there’s plenty of scenery to enjoy with a stroll along the sand. The area attracts surfers from all over the world and is host to the Quicksilver International Surfing competition every August.
You’ll find a small collection of shops, bars, and restaurants in town, which allows the area to retain its remote and commercial-free atmosphere. If you’re looking for a day in the city, Jacó is only 3 miles away, bustling with activities and nightlife.
If hanging loose isn’t your thing, no problem. Playa Hermosa is also just a 45-minute drive from Manuel Antonio National Park, which is well worth the trip. The 7,000-acre stretch of land is one of the most popular spots in Costa Rica for its guided trails, breathtaking views, jungle animals, and four beaches for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
