Playa Herradura
A horseshoe-shaped bay north of Jacó with gentle waves and calm water. It's good for swimming, kayaking, and family play, and has plenty of seafood restaurants.
Playa Herradura lies about 6 km north of Jacó. Its name means "horseshoe." The bay is enclosed by headlands, and the waves are much gentler than at Jacó. It's good for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, and it is also one of the boarding points for trips to Isla Tortuga and fishing excursions. Beside the beach are local seafood eateries known as sodas, and families from the area come here on weekends. The north end borders the Los Sueños resort and yacht marina. You can reach it by taxi or by car.
