At first we did not like Jaco beach with its skyscraper condos, high amounts of tourists, big waves, and black sand...who would? 

One day a friend showed us a different side of Jaco, the south end of Jaco. where the waves are perfect for beginners, where skyscrapers are just a distant view, where we will finally teach ourselves to surf. there are fewer people here. There is a nice beach front restaurant where you sit amongst large iguanas and the kids can play in the sand.
