About 95% of the beachfront property which is, of course, the most valuable and sought after property of all, cannot actually be owned by anyone. A person can purchase the right to use the property for 20 years at a time, but they have to be a citizen to do so or set up a corporation to own the “lease” on the property. This is done so that the government can retain control of the beaches to protect the environment and wildlife. There is, however, one beach in Costa Rica where titled property is available–Jaco Beach. Jaco Beach is also the only beach where you can build a structure taller than 4 stories, which makes it perfect for apartment complexes, condos, or hotels.
If you are looking for a gorgeous piece of beachfront property to develop, Jaco Beach is definitely worth looking into. It is a great location due to its close proximity to the capital of San Jose, the great surfing and the beautiful surroundings. There are plenty of major events that draw tourists to the area, as well, like major surfing and fishing competitions that bring competitors and viewers from all over the world.
Not to mention, it is a beautiful place to live. Imagine the view with the ocean in front of you, the mountains to one side and the tropical rainforest behind you. Then, when you get hungry or want to shop you can head into the town of Jaco and enjoy civilization again. There is truly something for everyone here. Whether you are looking to live in paradise or just want to find a titled piece of beachfront property to develop in Costa Rica as an investment; Jaco Beach has what you are looking for.
