No. This Playa Hermosa is located on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast, just 10 minutes south of Jaco Beach.

Yes. Hermosa is peaceful and great for families, but the ocean currents can be strong. Many parents prefer their kids to enjoy the villa pool, boogie boards, or surfboards rather than free-swimming in the waves. For small children or true beginners, the gentler waters at Jaco Beach are usually better.
Hermosa is known for its powerful, consistent surf, ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers. Most beginners take their lessons on Jaco Beach, where the waves are softer and easier to learn on. We can arrange lessons for any level.
Several villas are short walking distance to the beach, especially homes in Hermosa Palms and beachfront zones. Others are slightly elevated with ocean views and quick access by car or golf cart. Each villa page and the interactive map above show the exact location.
