Costa Rica's Liveliest Beach Town After Dark
Jaco has long been known as the beach town with the most going on after sunset, with a strip of bars, clubs, and beachfront lounges that stays busy well past midnight, especially on weekends and during the dry season.
Bars, Clubs, and Beachfront Lounges
The main strip through town has the highest concentration of bars and clubs, ranging from casual beachfront spots good for a sunset drink to later-night clubs with music and dancing. Several beachfront restaurants transition into more of a lounge scene once dinner service winds down.
Nightlife for Groups and Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
Jaco's nightlife is a big part of why it's a popular bachelor and bachelorette party destination: there's enough variety to bar-hop as a group without needing to travel far, and JacoStay can arrange a private driver so nobody has to worry about getting back to the villa.
Balancing Nightlife With the Rest of Your Trip
If nightlife isn't the focus of your trip, staying in Playa Hermosa rather than downtown Jaco gives you a quieter home base while keeping the option to head into town for a night out. Either way, our concierge team can point you toward the right spots for your group and arrange transportation so you're not driving.
