Playa Coronado

The beaches are 1 hour and 15 minutes from Panama, and the best way to get there is by car or taxi. If you're more daring, you could risk the bus, although I can't tell you anything about that because I haven't tried it. The beaches are beautiful and uncrowded, but in some places the sand is quite dark, and to get to the water you have to walk a lot. The beaches are private, so you can only access them if you live there or if you buy a full day pass from one of the hotels or apartment complexes, which costs about $ 25 (I went to Las Gaviotas, and the price included a welcome drink, a juice, lunch with dessert and drink, and the use of the pools and locker).
