Travel Info How far away are the beaches from san jose, costa rica? Travel Tips I just came from CR. The beaches are about an hour to an hour and a half. I recommend u visit Jaco (good beach and nightlife) . QUEPOS is about an hour from JACO. Also Manuel Antonio is 30 minutes from Quepos. There is a rainforest there (museum) inside there is a pretty good lake. I heard tamarindo is the best place to go. i did not get a chance to go. stay away from San Jose there is alot of traffic and heavy populated. enjoy ---pura vida------- Others We actually had to take a 6 hour bus ride out to Manuel Antonio National Park. If you are traveling there, don't stay in San Jose unless you have to go to the airport. Some suggestions: -Arenal and their hot springs -Manuel Antonio National Park has the MOST BEAUTIFUL beach that you hike to -the Caribbean side has some beautiful beaches too but that's an even longer bus ride. Some people fly. The closest beach is probably Punteranas, About 3-3 1/2 hrs by bus. The fartherest could be upto 7 hours by bus followed by a boat ride The above answers are accurate. If you rent a car it would cut way down on the time. I almost "Baked" in Jaco. Jaco is the nearest decent beach and it is only slightly further than than Puntarenas, Distance-wise they are actually quite close. I believe that as the crow flies, it is only about 40 miles or so to the pacific coast. Getting there though is a different story. In my opinion the best way to go is to fly, all the best beach resorts have local airports within a short 30 minute flight from San Jose. They are pretty good value as well at around $50. Otherwise you are driving and looking at minimum a 2 hour drive. Some rough driving time estimates: Tamarindo and around - 6 hours Jaco - 2.5 hours Manuel Antonio - 3.5 hours MalPais and Santa Teresa - 7 hours Caribbean beaches (Limon) - 4 hours See my articles linked below for more information about the different areas of Costa Rica. http://www.ricarent.com/about-costa-rica... |
