If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 19 miles away, Puntarenas is worth the drive. Puntarenas Beach should be at the top of your list here. Victoria Park and Mata de Limón are interesting attractions too. Locals will also probably point you toward Jaco, 25 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Jaco Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Herradura Beach and Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Pacific Park.)
