Santa Catalina

Though development of the area is in its early stages, with just a few restaurants, accommodations, and a grocery store, Santa Catalina has everything you need to experience the best of what the ocean has to offer. Whether you're an experienced surfer looking to tackle the powerful waves at Playa Santa Catalina or Punta Brava, or a beginner eager to learn at Playa Estero, Santa Catalina has something for everyone. And if you're feeling adventurous, consider signing up for a lesson at one of the local surfing schools, or rent a board and hit the waves on your own.

But surfing isn't the only thing to do in Santa Catalina. This charming village is also a key departure point for tours to Coiba National Park, where you can explore the lush rainforests and mangroves, or take a kayak or stand-up paddleboard trip to the nearby Isla Catalina. And when you're not busy catching waves or exploring the great outdoors, be sure to take some time to relax on the beautiful beaches, or check out the local soccer games that take place on the smooth sand at low tide.

With its laid-back atmosphere and world-class waves, Santa Catalina is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature. So why wait? Pack your bags and head to Santa Catalina for the beach vacation of a lifetime.
