Panama
is a country that has great access to both the Pacific
and Caribbean coasts, which are both outstanding and
spectacular. Very few cities in Central America come
close to Panama City in terms of its vibrant and cultural
diversity. There is also then the added bonus of over
200 miles of stunning white sanded beaches bordering
deep blue sapphire waters! With the main attraction
in Panama being the Canal and Panama City, the beaches
often get overlooked. However, the beaches in Panama
are stunning and perfect for those wanting relaxing
holidays with stunning views!
The largest beach
populated area is that of Fallaron, only 50 miles down
the Pan American highway from Panama City. With access
as easy as this, people really should consider this
as a must visit for all trips to Panama.
Offering their
own micro-climates, the 40 mile stretch of stunning
beaches from Punta Chame to Fallaron offer more sun
to visitors than anywhere else in Panama. The beaches
are known for their great surfing, sun, snorkeling,
fishing and even wind surfing. To compliment these stunning
beaches, a number of fantastic luxury hotels line the
beach front, along with a number of stunning beach front
residential developments, where a beach front house
can be purchased for the price of a flat in the UK.
For those looking for
a popular place to buy a property the main development
areas along these beaches are Punta Chame, Gorgona,
Coronado, Rio Mar, Santa Clara and Playa Blanca. Rio
Mar is a popular surfing beach year-round. Punta Chame
is great for windsurfing certain months of the year.
The major resorts are
the Royal Decameron
in Santa Clara and the Playa
Blanca resort in Playa Blanca. Both of these resorts
offer a comfortable all inclusive stay in paradise,
perfect for all the family and couples alike. The newest
hotel to hit this great scene is the Intercontinental
Playa Bonita, which is located just 30 minutes from
Panama City and offers a stunning 5 star service.
