What is the weather like in Jaco, Costa Rico in March?

Answer 2

March is probably the very best month of the year to go there.

Answer 3

It is great all year.  See you there.

Answer 4

All the answers are really good, Costa Rica does have two distinct seasons and March is during the dry one.  It will be hot and humid, but definitely not unbearable.  Jaco has many air-conditioned shops lining the streets.  Jaco is one of the most heavily visited tourist beaches in Costa Rica therefore remember water and other beverages are more expensive.  There are lots of other less crowded beaches very close to Jaco such as Playas Esterillos Oeste (West Star Beach) and Playa Esterillos Este (East Star Beach).  But, with that said I love Jaco and enjoy what it offers.  The area in which you are referring to offers the best of both worlds; popular tourist beaches and beautiful isolate beaches where you can be alone.  Have fun where ever you end up.  Pura Vida.

Answer 5

Commonly: clear skies, day time highs in the upper 80's, night time lows in the lower 70's.  Humidity hovers around 50%.  You can always take a look at Yahoo! Weather:

January through March are considered to be the best times to visit, but Costa Rica is a great place to visit year round.  Jaco is hot, but if you're on the beach the ocean breeze keeps things cool.  Enjoy your stay!

Answer 6

When I was there during the dry season, the heat was so oppressive it was nearly unbearable.  Even a cold shower was hot.   The locals loved it, but I thought I would lose it.
