Playa Hermosa
Central Pacific, Costa Rica
Playa Hermosa (Jacó), Costa Rica, one of the most consistently powerful surf beaches in all of Central America, is a quiet, dramatically beautiful stretch of dark-sand coast just 8 kilometers south of Jacó — home to world-class waves, a small but passionate surfer and expat community, the annual international surfing competition that draws the world's professionals, and a pace of life that has so far resisted the development energy of its famous neighbor.
