Jacó Beach is one of the best places in Costa Rica to catch your very first wave — warm water, a long sandy beach, and gentle, consistent swells that are made for learning. Our Surf Lessons Jacó Beach are the easy, fun way to do it: a private instructor, a board in your hands, and real waves under your feet in under two hours. Learn, surf, have fun.
Surf Lessons in Jacó Beach are $85 per person.
Each lesson runs 1 hour 45 minutes — about 15 minutes of beach instruction followed by 1.5 hours in the water, with a private instructor and surfboard included.
What your $85 lesson includes
- Private instructor — one-on-one coaching so you actually stand up
- Surfboard included — the right beginner board is provided
- 15 minutes of beach instruction — the pop-up, paddling and safety basics on the sand first
- 1.5 hours in the water — plenty of time to catch wave after wave
- Tropical vibes, great waves and unforgettable memories — plus Hawaiian shaved ice to cool off after
Perfect for first-timers, families and groups
You don't need any experience. The beach instruction gets you comfortable with the board and the pop-up before you ever touch the water, and then your private instructor is right beside you in the shallows, pushing you into the gentle Jacó waves. Most people are standing up and riding whitewater in their very first lesson — it's genuinely one of the most fun mornings you can have on your Costa Rica trip, whether you're solo, with the kids, or booking for a whole group.
Make it a perfect Jacó day: surf, then a private chef dinner
Here's how we like to build the day in Jacó. Catch waves in the morning, cool off with shaved ice, relax on the beach — and then let us cook for you at your villa that evening. A private chef dinner from Jaco Beach Chef is the perfect way to end a day in the water: no cleanup, no restaurant wait, just a great meal right where you're staying. We can line up the surf lesson and the chef dinner together so your whole day is handled.
