Playa Esterillos Oeste
Esterillos Oeste
A quiet long beach about 18 km southeast of Jacó, with a mermaid statue, tide pools, and surf. It is far less crowded than Jacó, so it's ideal for unwinding and watching the sunset.
Playa Esterillos lies about 18 km southeast of Jacó in the Parrita district and is divided into two long beaches, east and west. The west section is known for its mermaid statue, and tide pools form on the reef at low tide. The waves suit intermediate surfers, and it is far less crowded than Jacó, with a quiet atmosphere. It takes about 25 minutes to drive here on Route 34, or you can take a bus heading to Quepos and get off at the junction. There are a few restaurants and small hotels by the beach. Rip currents can be strong, so take care when swimming.
