But, if you are lucky enough to be staying in Jaco, Playa Fantasia is a great alternative and does not take a full day to get out there and back. Sleep in, have a wonderful day, and get back in time to shower and nap before dinner. The beach is gorgeous, there are no crowds typically, and the snorkeling is great most of the year. (Rainy season it can be a bit murky and turbulent, but there are so many other ways to enjoy the day you won’t even miss it.)
