A fun place to grab anything "lobster". They have the best lobster tacos, lobster burgers, etc. The staff is great and the owner is very friendly.

Right next to Amaranto is Cafe Del Mar. I am in love with their breakfast burritos (specifically their sauce for it). The staff is friendly and helpful.

A favorite for us. Buena Vista has the most consistent everything. From the food to the service and the hours. You can count on them. We have always felt like family, since our first visit.

Craving a good, thin crust, pizza? This is a great place to quell that craving. They also have a cool "gin cart" where you can create your own drink or let the server do it for you. Their bar has some good liquor choices as well. Grab some charcuterie to go. They have great cheese selections.

One of my favorite restaurants out of all the places we’ve lived or visited is Arboloco. They serve up amazing food & cocktails at very reasonable prices. We love going here though it does require some effort (taking a cab), it’s worth it. Service is excellent too.

We are a short 20 minute hike to Wizard Beach. Grab one of our beach blankets and towels for a day at the beach. It's gorgeous there.

Grab a water taxi and head to Red Frog. Gorgeous beaches and a nice cantina to quench your thirst! It's $5 per person to visit the beach (not including the water taxi ride) but it's beautiful.

Take a tour of Starfish Beach and Bird Island. This is a day trip and well worth it. Lots of places offer tours in Bocas, like Total Adventures, Hello Travel Panama, etc.

Spent the day touring the different bars in the area. You will have a guided tour on a water taxi to several locations. You also get some swag with your tour purchase, to remember it with (since there's a good chance you drank too much). Be safe and drink a lot of water and EAT FOOD. Remember you'll need to get back to Bastimentos and the night taxis are more $5/pp. https://filthyfridaybocas.com/

E-bikes are an excellent way to go up to Bluff Beach. It’s easy to stop at the many restaurants & bars along the way, enjoy the ride along the ocean & catch a breeze.

Tours! Cesar can hook you up with fabulous tours. My favorite is the Zapatilla tour. It’s all day long with dolphins, beach, snorkeling, starfish; it’s beautiful. Ask him about his other tours too.
