About Surfing Escapades and Untouched Natural Retreats

Panama has many world-class surfing beaches in both coasts, being the most famous Bocas del Toro in the Atlantic Ocean and Santa Catalina and Venao in the Pacific. Please pay close attention as several beaches can look idyllic but hide powerful currents that can be dangerous.  Most beaches have no signs but ask us or ask locals in case of doubt.

For National Parks, the best recommendation is to go with a certified guide and follow instructions as some trails could cross with natural wildlife trails and drive you out of the path. No pets allowed on National Parks, no extraction of Flora or Fauna allowed.
