any of the beaches from Jaco to Manuel Antonio would fit the bill. Although Jaco is not a little laid back town like the rest of them, so if you want to relax in a place that still has some charm then I suggest either of the Esterillos beaches, Oeste, Central, or Este. There is also Hermosa, but it's not as laid back.
