Bocas del Toro

Bocas Del Toro is a province located on the Caribbean coast of Panama, known for its stunning tropical beaches, lush rainforests, and rich cultural heritage. In addition to the lightly populated and forested mainland, the Province is best known for its hundreds of islands and smaller islets, many of which are uninhabited; many with lush forests.

Bocas del Toro is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, known for its turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and coconut trees. The Province is also home to a thriving expat community, many of whom have chosen to retire here due to the mild climate, low cost of living, and friendly locals.

People take water taxis or small boats from island to island here, enjoying the lively and fun activities of one of the larger islands, Isla Colon, the tranquil activities of quieter islands or the absolute peace of tropical paradises where you are unlikely to see a soul. Dolphin watching, the famous dart frogs and huge starfish are some of the many attractions here. The snorkeling and diving are excellent with lots of coral reefs.

Some of the hotels & resorts are famous for their raised villas over the Carribean where you can step right out your door and into the warm waters.

The real estate and homes available for sale here include modern, upscale residences, lots of dreamy island life homes for sale with lots of character and comfort and island properties of varying sizes where you can build a home to fulfill your own dream.
