At this point in my search for the perfect beach area in Panama, here is my favorite. The velvety green grass extends to a wide, deserted beach stretching for miles. The waves curl gently onto the shore, allowing for a safe plunge into refreshing waters. Families can feel safe about kids frolicking and building sandcastles without fear of a possible... More

This is a gorgeous and must seen beach. This beach dont be missed from any traveller through Panama. You can expect a unique beach and very nice locations to sleep and eat. The beach is very easy accessible with Car and buses because it is only 15 minutes away from the famous Panamericana. More

Las Lajas Beach Resort is a new beach motel of sorts with extremely reasonable rates, a pretty oceanfront swimming pool, and reasonable restaurant with a view. Lize, the owner, was instrumental in securing reservations for us on Isla Boca Chica. We stumbled upon the Las Lajas Beach Resort on our road trip and it was the perfect place to rest... More

The swimming pool is attractive and beautifully maintained. The beach is beautiful and presents a beautiful view of the Isla Secas island group offshore. It's a... More
