Panama Beaches
The favorite pastime
of Panamanians and visitors is enjoying the Caribbean and Pacific
Beaches. Both coasts have beautiful beaches with crystal clear
waters, white sand, coral reefs and coconut palm trees. These
qualities make places such as Bocas del Toro, Portobelo and the
San Blas islands in the Caribbean ideal vacation spots for
sun-seekers and scuba divers.
On the other side and only few minutes drive from Panama City, you
can find 80 kilometers (50 mi) of Pacific Beaches stretching from
Punta Chame to Farallon offering resort hotels, sport facilities,
and restaurants for your enjoyment. Sailing enthusiasts can have
their fun too in these quiet waters and visit the flower-island of
Taboga or the enchanting Pearl Archipelago.
