Taboga Island, also known as Island of Flowers, is a popular tourist destination about 14 kms (9 miles) from Panama City. The beauty of Taboga’s crystal clear beaches is one of its main attractions, perfect for fishing, swimming, diving, snorkeling, etc. Another great aspect of Taboga is its proximity to Panama City, by ferry you can get there in about 30 mins, but if you rent a private boat with a good motor you might only take 15 minutes!

SAN BLAS

Recently (Feb 18-21, 2012) I went back to San Blas for the third time in my life, and I will not get tired of saying these are to me the most amazing beaches anyone can ever see. And its not that I have been to many other beaches in the world, but you just have to be there and will definitely agree with me. San Blas is an indian region, or reservation comprising approximately 378 islands and cays, of which only 49 are inhabited. They lie off the north coast of the Isthmus, east of the Panama Canal. They are home to the Kuna Indians and a part of the comarca Kuna Yala along the Caribbean coast of Panama.
