The deserted beaches of Esterillos Beaches, about 13 miles south of Jaco, are definitely worth exploring.

Swimmers should stay closer to the northern end of Esterillos Oeste, where a calm tidal pool offers shelter from the area's dangerous riptides. All three villages have a handful of hotels, cafes and vacation rentals for travelers of all budgets.
