Panama Beach

Zapatilla Cayes. These islands are the most famous of
all our islands here in Bocas del Toro. They are
beautiful little islands which are included in the
Bastimentos National Marine Park. As such they will
never be inhabited but for a park ranger or a select
group of people who stay on the islands for a brief
period of time to help the turtles during nesting
season.
Today we had a group of 13 people we took over to the first Zapatilla Cay. Besides us, I think there were maybe 15 other people there. Of those 15 other people, 6 of them were with a tour operator who parked near where we were and the other 9 people we saw as they took a walk around the entire island.
There are days when we take our guests out to these beaches and we do not see any other people. We have had several groups of guests ask to be dropped off at these beaches in order for them to play “Survivor” for a few hours at a time. Of course, we do send an igloo full of food and drinks, chairs, and a variety of other gear with them. So while it isn’t much of a trial at Survivor; it is a great day.
