The Caribbean coast features some excellent getaway islands like Bocas del Toro and the fascinating San Blas Islands with a high concentration of indigenous populations.
One of the highlights of Panama's Caribbean coast is the group of islands near the border with Costa Rica, Bocas del Toro. This archipelago is one of the fastest developing visitor sites in Central America and home to six large islands and dozens of little ones.
The San Blas Islands, to the north of Panama City are home to one of the most independent and politically organized indigenous communities in Central America, the Kuna. Best reached by a short flight from Panama City, there are substantial opportunities for interacting with this hospitable indigenous community as you explore the Caribbean beaches and coral reefs. The Kuna are most famous for their molas, cloth appliqué with unique geometric and pictorial designs usually worn on blouses, but can also be purchased as wall hangings. Water sports like snorkeling, diving, fishing are also popular on these islands.
