To continue providing you guys with small guides to relocate or move to Costa Rica I came up with a few short tips about well developed Costa Rica beaches. These locations have everything right on sight and are also the easiest beaches to visit. Most of these are located very close to main cities and not only are you able to sit at the beach and sunbathe but also, you can find many activities such as spa treatments and shopping.

Jaco Beach: This is the most developed one. Some people in Costa Rica even compare it to San Jose as a joke. In Jaco, Costa Rica has a small downtown with an ocean view. You can find everything from a Pizza Hut to a couple of Malls and hardware stores; great shopping and tourist information offices. Even a Hilton hotel is being built right now.

Tamarindo Beach: This beach is known because of the great surfing. Tamarindo Beach, is located in Guanacaste, only 45 minutes away from the airport. The ocean side is filled with amazing hotels, some of them very luxurious. The main street has a lot of bars, discotheques, bakeries and grocery stores, also a few massage parlors and information desks. If you come to Costa Rica looking for surfing and nightlife, Tamarindo is a place you should consider visiting.

Manuel Antonio Beach: This one has a plus: It is also a National Park and not only you will be able to find nice restaurants where you can enjoy extremely good cuisine; you can also experience the breath taking beauties of Costa Rica nature. At Manuel Antonio National Park you can see wild animals and five different beaches extremely well preserved.

At all these Costa Rica beaches you are able to find the exact same things you would find downtown: supermarkets, pharmacies, stores, and even browse Costa Rica real estate at designated offices that have great property listings from each area. I will try and get more information about other well developed Costa Rica vacation destinations for you to take a look later on.
