Beaches of Panama

Beaches of Panama

Combined, Panama’s Pacific and Caribbean coastlines stretch for over 1,540 miles (2,475 km). That number, however, doesn’t include the countless islands that are scattered along both sides of the country. Beaches border most of this and come in all sizes, shapes and colors—from crescent, white-sand beaches to broad stretches of brown sand, Panama’s beaches give you options. Forests line some beaches, and there are others with healthy coral reefs just offshore. Whether you’re searching for a spot to sunbathe or snorkel, these beaches are fantastic places to visit for the day.

The best places to visit in Beaches of Panama

Red Frog Beach

Red Frog Beach

Located on Isla Bastimentos in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, Red Frog Beach is a wonderfully mellow white-sand beach. Red Frog is backed by portions of thick rainforest which extend in some places all the way to the water, creating secluded alcoves that are perfect for couples or families who would like a bit of privacy. This becomes especially the case during high tide, when the sea creeps high and swallows much of the shoreline.

Playa Paunch

Playa Paunch

Renowned for its good surf and close distance to Bocas town, Playa Paunch is a perfect day trip while staying on Isla Colón. Located within the Bocas del Toro archipelago along Panama’s Caribbean coast, the water here is warm, clear and clean.
