Community & Biodiversity

We have been in Jaco Beach for over 30 years, in spite of the many challenges our community has faced over the years as things change, grow & develop; we have always felt blessed to call this place (and the people in it) home. So many great projects have been created to tackle local issues as well as support and guide local youth. 

Please connect with our local non-profits if you would like to volunteer, make a donation or simply learn about our community.

We are also happy to showcase and highlight our local biodiversity, the abundant species, beaches, rivers and waterfalls are some of our best kept secret still to this day, we aim to do our part in maintaining and bringing visibility to aid in biodiversity conservation. Jaco beach is also bird lovers haven, there are almost 400 species in our county alone!
