Oasis Surf Camp in Santa Catalina was awesome and great waves for first timers. We took the slow but fun local buses around combined with taxis when needed. Bocas Del Toro is a pretty rad island chain to explore. We saled from their on a hired catamaran to the San Blas Islands (which are cool to see if it’s en route but pricey and out of the way as a destination. The islands are beautiful but after the boat stopped there for an afternoon we decided we had our fill and moved on. The other spots offered nicer accommodations). Panama City is cool (Panama Viejo and Casco Viejo specifically. All the new parts are super Meh cause the malls are Americanized and I’m not into clubbing.) neat country. Tons to explore.

We're heading there on Friday, so excited! Have a night on either end then heading to Bocas 4 nights on Isla Colon (staying at Sully's), 2 nights on Solarte (Bambuda Lounge), 4 nights Bastimentos (Palmar Lodge and a couple nights on Domicil Yacht which is a splurge for our anniversary but looks so cool), and then 2 nights on another island found on airbnb (floating house). If you're going in March I'd book some things pretty soon, a lot of the above places are booked solid and the flights are limited too (note: you need to use a US IP address to be able to use the Air Panama website from Canada for booking).

Panama in March: Art, Architecture, Restaurants, Nightlife, and Beaches
Heading to Panama in March? Great choice! Here's some advice to help you make the most of your trip.
Art and Architecture
Panama City is home to a number of world-class art museums, including the Panama Canal Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art. For architecture, be sure to check out the Casco Viejo, the city's historic district, which is full of beautiful colonial buildings.
Restaurants
Panama City has a wide variety of restaurants, from casual cafes to upscale fine dining. For a truly Panamanian experience, try one of the many ceviche restaurants. For something more upscale, try one of the many restaurants in the Casco Viejo.
Nightlife
Panama City has a lively nightlife scene, with something for everyone. For live music, check out one of the many bars in the Casco Viejo. For dancing, try one of the many nightclubs in the city center.
Beaches
Panama has some of the best beaches in Central America. For surfing, head to Playa Venao, which is known for its consistent waves. For something more relaxed, try one of the many other beaches along the Pacific coast.
Other Tips
Here are a few other tips for planning your trip to Panama:
- The best time to visit Panama is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.
- Panama is a relatively safe country, but it's always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings.
- The official currency of Panama is the US dollar.
- Spanish is the official language of Panama, but English is widely spoken in the tourist areas.
Have a great trip!

Heading to Panama in March. Would love your advice re: art, architecture, restaurants, nightlife and most importantly BEACHES (hoping to surf for the first time).
No package tourism, seeking nature and relatively rustic is just fine.
