Esterillos Oeste (West)
Low Tide Lounge – Infamous for their full moon parties, Low Tide Lounge is a fun surfer’s bar serving great food & drink. Right on the beach, locals and travelers alike frequent the bar all day long but especially when the tide is low because when the tide is high everyone is surfing. WIFI is available.
The Reef – Right next door to the Low Tide Lounge, this bar also serves great food and drink and is a local hang-out for locals and travelers. Both of these bars get together to hold fundraisers for the local community from lifeguard fundraisers to local school fundraisers and will usually bring in a local band to play.
Azul – 200 meters from the beach, Azul serves great typical Tico food with plenty of space for your family and friends. Adjacent to the restaurant is Azul the nightclub. This is a very popular spot for the locals to let loose on the weekends. Before you drive away don’t forget to stop by Super Sol to pick up some groceries before you go home.
Los Almendros (The Almond Tree) – The Almond Tree serves the best cuisine in Esterillos Oeste at a great price. You will see dishes such as Caribbean Chicken, Seared Tuna, and Lobster. Don’t forget to ask for Karen’s special hot sauce.

Lemon Zest – One of the most favorite restaurants to visit is Lemon Zest! They offer the best international cuisine in Jaco at a great price. They are a family-owned restaurant. Mr. Lemon is in the Kitchen serving gourmet dishes while Mother and Son serve the house. Bring your memory and don’t bother looking at the menu because the server will tell you a dozen different specials off the tip of his tongue.
