Sonesta Jaco Resort a Great Starting Point for Fitness-based Vacation

Jaco, Costa Rica – 8/13/08 – More and more people are taking fitness into consideration when choosing their vacation destinations and the industry is responding to their wishes. The Sonesta Jaco Resort in beautiful Costa Rica provides a good example of a resort being built with fitness in mind.

The Sonesta Jaco Resort incorporates fitness equipment, pools, and healthy eating options into the resort design. The commitment to fitness is also evident from the resort’s location: Jaco Beach.

Jaco Beach has been a popular surfing spot for decades. The surf is regular, predictable, and manageable for the neophyte, yet challenging enough for the expert. Swimmers will enjoy Jaco as well, as the sheltering effect of Jaco Bay prevents wild currents or excessive riptides. The gentle slope of the beach makes it safe for young children to participate in watersports. Rentals are available for any watersport equipment you may need.

For those who prefer to pursue fitness on dry land, nature trails provide low-impact exercise with great views of Costa Rica’s natural beauty. Hiking trails provide a better workout with access to the same fantastic scenery, and mountain biking trails are available with ratings from novice to expert. Inexpensive bicycle rentals are available to those wishing to take on the trails, or just cruise around town.

Even those who aren’t dedicated athletes will find themselves interested in walking ‘just a bit further’ down the beach, enjoying the fresh air of a crisp ocean breeze. Another way to get in some painless exercise is to have a stroll through Jaco’s many shops, particularly those selling arts and crafts.

Outside of Jaco proper are a great golf-course, other world-class beaches, and virtually any sporting activity one can think of.

The fresh sea-breeze, abundant sunshine, and many available activities make the Sonesta Jaco Resort the perfect place to plan an active, fitness-minded vacation around any time of year. Wouldn’t it be nice to return from vacation relaxed and energized?

The Sonesta Jaco Resort will have it’s grand opening in January 2009, when it will open it’s doors to fitness lovers from around the world. Learn more about the Sonesta Jaco Resort at www.SonestaJaco.com.

Long Branch $19.99 In days gone by, Long Branch was filled with the mansions of millionaires, a business district bustling with commerce, and an oceanfront dotted with glittering gambling casinos and the finest hotels. At the dawn of the 20th century, everyone flocked to Ocean Avenue, either as a resident or visitor just taking in the sights. Some of these people were well-known actors, politicians, and business tycoons of the day. Others were day-trippers here to enjoy the cool breezes and summer entertainment that Long Branch had to offer. Some local citizens worked in the city, helping to maintain its reputation as the premier summer resort in the nation–a distinction bestowed by Mary Todd Lincoln when she visited in the summer of 1861. Many people came to Long Branch for many reasons, but all of them had one thing in common, the important role they played in its proud past.

Seaside Heights $21.99 Seaside Heights tells the history of a timeless seashore resort community located on a barrier island nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay. The 224-acre town was settled by residents of Philadelphia and Camden, who purchased white-sand lots to escape city life for the brisk ocean breezes and tranquility that Seaside Heights offered prior to World War II. Seaside Heights uses the scenes captured in vintage postcards, some of them very rare, as a study of the changes that have occurred in the town since its incorporation in 1913.

Virginia Beach $21.99 Virginia Beach: Jewel Resort of the Atlantic, takes us back in time to the days when the sparkling resort strip of Virginia Beach drew crowds by the train-full. This new book takes readers back to the days when there were only summer cottages and inns at Virginia Beach. In days gone by, sea breezes and incomparable landscapes created the backdrop for excursionists, and the wild country of Back Bay, Croatan, Sandbridge, and Fort Story was untouched. We follow the development of the resort as it changed to include grand hotels, clubs, nightlife, and watersports. Readers are invited to take a walk on the boardwalk of yesteryear and follow Virginia Beach through World War II and the big band era, to the fabulous fifties and the 1960s, when Virginia Beach formally incorporated as a city.
