Boca del Drago Beach (Isla Colón)
9° 24.9′ N · 82° 19.9′ W
The end of the road on Isla Colón's north-west tip: a palm-fringed beach facing the Boca del Drago channel, with a local restaurant and boats out to Bird Island.
Practical
Position from GeoNames (Playa Boca del Drago). About 14 km by road from Bocas Town; hourly bus (US$3.50 in 2022 — verify locally) or cycle about an hour on a hilly gravel road (Wikivoyage; Tourism Panama). The beach hotel restaurant serves traditional Bocas food and rents kayaks/paddleboards and boat trips to Isla Pájaros (Tourism Panama). The new commercial channel runs close by — watch for ship traffic.
