We stayed in Bocas town (3 nights) and although it's lovely it's so touristy so we decided to visit both Bastimentos island (2 nights) and solarte (4 nights)island both where so much better the Bocas town. We stayed in seapearl apartments which was great! We Love to have our own kitchen, it had a small balcony with a hammock which meant we could chill and just watch local life go by. It's will absolutely give you a more authentic view into Panamanian life. Each some delicious local fish and drink ice cold beer (the cheapest in panama) We would go back again! Don't miss it

We stayed at a local resort right on the beach for a few days and I have to say that Playa Bluff is a beautiful beach with great sand, awesome waves and cool breezes. Miles of soft sand make for some great walks along the picture perfect postcard backdrop. Highly recommended!!!
3. Bom Bom Beach Bar and La Pizzeria

4.5 based on 30 reviews
Bom Bom Beach Bar is the ONLY bar DIRECTLY on the beach at Bluff. Our expert bartenders prepare your delicious drinks to order while you listen to the sound of the waves breaking, cool music and the Howler Monkeys howling. We also serve delicious hamburgers, fish, pasta, salads, homemade pizza (Neapolitan style) and sandwiches baked in our 3000 lb. 900 degree wood burning oven right on the beach so you never need to leave paradise. Hope to see you here soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous, chic, bar right in the sand on a gorgeous beach. It doesn't get any better than sipping delicious drinks, while lounging in a chaise or comfy couch with your toes in the sand. The staff was friendly, the music was hip, the views were stunning and even the bathrooms were clean!

It is a bumpy ride to get here from Bocas Town but worth it. The setting is gorgeous and you can have your own part of the beach with no one nearby or choose to sit at the area with drinks and food. Very relaxing. And the drive there (bus, taxi or quad - don’t try to bike) is lovely too, despite the potholes.
5. Starfish Beach

Well worth a day trip. Take the local bus from the downtown park $2.50 per person one way. You can either walk 20 minutes from Boca Del Drago to Starfish Beach or take a 10-minute Water Taxi $1.50 pp each way. When we went to the starfish were abundant so much so you have to be careful not to step on one. There are multiple bars with reasonably priced drinks and outdoor restaurants price range 15 to 20 dollars us Many tourists and local bring their own lunch. Definitely worth the trip and intend to spend most of the day
6. Wizard Beach

What an incredible place!!! If you like raw, uncrowded beach and nature. I feel like you can only experience this in very few places in the world nowadays. I love love Wizard Beach and the path and the beach are patrolled by police men to reassure everyone. Unfortunately, bad things that happened more than 5 years ago are still all over the internet about the place and still scare people off (which might also be a good thing honnestly because those who take the hike to Wizard wont be disappointed). Maybe you can also stop at Up in The Hill cafe for a little treat on your way
