Questions buyers ask

Can foreigners buy property in Playa Hermosa?

Yes. Foreigners can own titled property in Costa Rica with the same rights as Costa Ricans. Land within 200 meters of the high-tide line is maritime zone (concession) and follows different rules. Ownership is recorded at the National Registry (Registro Nacional). See how buying property in Costa Rica works.

How far is it from Jacó and San José?

About five minutes by car to Jacó, and about an hour and a half to San José and the international airport by highway.

Is the beach safe for swimming?

Playa Hermosa is a powerful surf beach with strong currents. Swim with care and near other people. For calmer water, many families go to Jacó or Herradura, a short drive away.

Are there schools and services nearby?

Yes. Jacó, five minutes away, has supermarkets, banks, clinics, restaurants and schools. Ask me about the options that fit your family.
