Bocas del Toro Beaches
Bluff Beach is on Isla Colon where most of the hotels are, so expect
the most fellow beach lovers here. Take a taxi or bicycle a few easy miles to
Bluff Beach, where you will find a really pretty beach. Don't go in more than
knee deep at Bluff Beach due to strong undertows and currents.
Punch Beach is just before Bluff Beach, a little less scenic, but one
with a reputation for great surfing. Many consider these beaches unsafe for swimmers...but
you can wade out without problem.
Bocas del Drago - A beautiful beach on the main island, but a little
farther away. When the seas are calm, the snorkeling is good.
Red Frog Beach: Boca's most beautiful beach on Isla Bastimientos. You
are sure to see and hear the shrill cries of the famous red frog with black dots
as you stroll through the rainforest. Isla Bastimiento is the only place on the
planet where this brilliant colored bright red frog lives. Don't go in more than
knee deep at Red Frog Beach due to strong undertows and currents.
Playa Larga - A great beach on Isla Bastimientos where you can camp
out and see the famous sea turtles come ashore and frolic in the surf.
Always consult your tour operator and the locals before swimming any beach.
This is wild untamed marine wildlife reserves with hundreds of square miles of
water; as with any frontier be careful and protect your interests.
