The closest full-service beach town to San José, with a long dark-sand beach that works well for learning to surf. Its strip of hotels, sodas, and nightlife makes it the most urban of Costa Rica's Pacific resorts. Crocodile-spotting on the nearby Tárcoles River bridge is a classic stop on the drive in.
