Top neighbourhoods in Bocas del Toro

Saigon

Saigon's laid-back beachfront vibe hits you like a warm Caribbean breeze the moment you arrive. Wooden piers stretch into turquoise waters where water taxis buzz between Bocas islands. Reggae beats drift from colourful beach bars while travellers chill in hammocks or splash in the crystal-clear sea. Sandy paths connect budget-friendly hostels to local eateries serving fresh seafood. Getting around is a breeze with water taxis departing every 30 minutes to nearby islands. Golf carts and bicycles handle the flat sandy streets, while most spots are easily reached on foot. Hostels and guesthouses with communal spaces are perfect for meeting fellow adventurers.

Punta Caracol

Punta Caracol's iconic overwater bungalows hover above the Caribbean's turquoise playground, offering front-row seats to coral reefs and marine life below. This slice of Panama heaven lets you wake up to water lapping beneath your floorboards and spend days snorkelling straight from your deck. Wooden walkways connect these thatched-roof retreats while mangrove channels wind through the untouched coastline. Caribbean-fusion restaurants serve fresh-caught seafood with sunset views worth every penny. Getting around means water taxis from Bocas Town, with most guests happily trading roads for boat transfers that take just 15-20 minutes. Pack your swimming costume and camera—this paradise delivers postcard-worthy moments without even trying.

Big Bight

Big Bight offers pristine Caribbean beaches with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling right from your doorstep. Sandy paths wind along the shoreline where you'll spot colourful wooden structures on stilts that give this quiet corner of Bocas del Toro its authentic charm. Venture beyond to explore nearby Tortuga Beach, La Gruta Cave, or take water taxis to Starfish Beach. Budget-friendly hostels, guesthouses, and beachfront cabins make this an ideal base for travellers watching their wallets. Small local eateries serve fresh seafood and Caribbean dishes at prices lower than tourist hotspots. Water taxis connect you to Bocas Town when you need more action, though many visitors prefer renting bicycles to explore this tranquil tropical haven.

Learn more about Bocas del Toro

Between emerald islands and turquoise waters, this archipelago paradise invites exploration by water taxi. Spot sloths hanging in trees near Paunch Beach or snorkel among rainbow-colored fish at Starfish Beach, where the namesake creatures pose obligingly on the sandy bottom. The main town buzzes with Caribbean energy – wooden buildings on stilts house dive shops and seafood restaurants serving catch-of-the-day with plantains. Kayak through mangrove tunnels where the jungle meets the sea, or surf the consistent breaks at Bluff Beach. Tortuga Beach offers postcard perfection without the crowds, while local water taxis function as both transport and impromptu wildlife tours. Bring cash – ATMs are temperamental and credit cards often meet with apologetic shrugs.
