Boquete Travel Guide

Bocas Town is the main settlement of Panama's Bocas del Toro archipelago on the Caribbean coast, perched at the end of Isla Colón and surrounded by coral reefs, mangroves and tropical rainforest. The colorful town retains Caribbean wooden architecture and West Indian cultural flair, with streets running along the water and no cars; water taxis and bicycles are the main transport. The surrounding marine protected area boasts outstanding biodiversity, with dolphins, manatees, reef fish and mangrove birds. Beaches such as Starfish Beach and Bluff Beach and surf breaks like Punch Beach make it a hub for eco-diving, surfing, island hopping and Caribbean culture.
