This local beach is just 1 hour and 15 min. from Panama City on the Pacific Coast and an only 30 mins drive from el Valle.This is the closest pretty Pacific beach to the Capital city.  It has it all: pleasant light grey sand beach, decent places to eat and not too many people. Because this region has always been a popular weekend getaway location for Panama City's residents, there is a nice tourism infrastructure that can be enjoyed by everyone. The mood of the place is one of quiet contemplation, ideal for families and couples of all ages...very casual. You can lay back and drink dark Panamanian rum and relax in the shade of a thatched rancho on a hammock, walk on the beach, go for a swim and children can also have fun horseback riding on the beach.
