About Jacó

Jacó, Costa Rica 🇨🇷🌴 is a lively beach town great for digital nomads who want surf, sunshine, and a laid-back vibe. It has decent coworking options, cafes, and reliable internet in many areas. Close to San José for quick access, but expect a touristy feel and higher prices than some inland towns. Perfect for work-life balance by the ocean 🌊💻
