This is one of my favorite areas of Panama City. It's very clean, long wide sidewalks and incredible scenery. The yachts are just incredible. There are several restaurants at the end that you can eat at. (sorry their names fail me right now). It is an absolute vision, looking across the water at all of the beautiful buildings of Panama...

There are quite a few very good restaurants to chose from. There are also numerous fishing boats for hire, if you care to deep sea fish. More

There's a few restaurants and a duty free shop but the main reason to go there is for the views back across the water to the city. Outstanding! More

Go for the lunch buffet (a little expensive by local standards, reserve a terrace seat in advance). Decent museum and movie, the main event is watching the ships go through the locks. Cabs to and from are not a problem, as always negotiate in advance and watch for bootleg cabs. More

Perhaps we just didn't get it, but we walked from the marina all the way to the start of the causeway and found it to be pretty boring. The views weren't all that spectacular either. The views from the top of the hill in... More

Great place to rent bikes, peddle carts, roller skates and enjoy the sea air along the 2 mile land strip connected by three islands. Hop-on Hop-off double decker bus includes the causeway on it's sightseeing route. Day pass $29. Many restaurants including a Bennigans. Ferries leave from the causeway to go to the islands of Contadora and Tobago. More
