Located approximately eight miles south of the Interamerican highway, this white sand beach is a favorite spot for locales and features waves perfect for body surfing.

Amazing, unspoiled beach! Try a yoga class or a massage with Beach Massage Panama. Very effective for flexibility, strength, and relaxation! Wave sounds wash over your soul during this must-do experience. Las Lajas Beach resort is fun for pool lounging with an adult beverage, splashing in the waves, a weekend getaway, and delicious fish tacos. We enjoyed our lunch and their famous pina caladas while on a Panama Relocation Tour. Locals are amiable, temp is HOT HOT HOT, and the ocean waves are shallow without jellyfish. Lots of shells to collect, too. Beach is quiet and dog friendly.

Trail is open
Reviewed By ChristianL3343
So this is definitely not a 'family' hike (ie - small children, older folks, or anyone not in good shape). That said, it is spectacular... the first portion of the hike is along a dirt road, down from the parking/pay area at the end of the road (Yellow building). It starts off with a downhill section, part of which is steep (white sandbags filling in ruts). Once you get towards end of this road, the trail truly begins off to the left. First part of the trail is pretty nice. Yes, it's rocky! If you have hiking shoes/boots with ankle support, those would be gerat. that said, I saw two people with flip-flops on yesterday?!? Minor creek crossing. basically a gradual climb. We saw two absolutely stunning colorful Quetzales and a three-warble Bell bird (also stunning, and loud!) A good turn around spot for those who dont want a big challenge is when you get to the "stairs". If you are feeling strong, and adventurous... do the stair climb and head up to the Rock look out. These are basically steep, stair-master climbs... there are two, with a little side-trek between them. There is a break area. The views once you get up to the Rock "Molino?" look out is fantastic. This is where we chilled out, had a picnic, and then turned around. This took us about 6 hours, going at a moderate pace. You could certainly do it faster. I would recommend this lovely jungle hike, in dry season (or not after any rain) for the sure-footed, and able-bodied. It's challenging but rewarding! Hope that review helps....

We arrived in the morning at the trailhead. It was a little confusing to figure out the way, but the local hostess was friendly and helpful. Once we got onto the trail, it was certainly a jungle / cloud forest experience. We saw and heard several bands of howler monkeys, and encountered the 1300 year old tree. But our hopes were fulfilled when we saw the famed Quetzals--a remarkable bird. We were fortunate enough to see 4 (and hear two others). It was a lifetime experience for me to see them flying in the sunlight and reflecting brilliantly. The waterfall at the end of the trail is also quite remarkable.
