This 8,916.52 m² beachfront lot for sale in Isla Chavelita, Nuevo Méjico, Alanje, offers approximately 0.89 hectares or 2.20 acres along Panama’s Pacific coast. Located in the Gulf of Chiriquí, the property provides direct beach access in an island setting connected by boat to the mainland.

Its size offers space to consider a coastal residence with guest accommodations or a small hospitality project, subject to applicable permits and land-use requirements. For buyers interested in Chiriquí’s coastline, the property brings together beachfront land, access to the surrounding coastal environment, and proximity by water to Alanje and Barú.

Beachfront Setting and Natural Surroundings

Isla Chavelita’s coastal landscape includes coconut palms, tropical vegetation, and stretches of beach along the Pacific Ocean. The broader property described in the original listing borders a protected natural area and lies near Río Chiriquí Viejo, one of Chiriquí’s major rivers.

This setting provides context for buyers interested in outdoor activities, coastal living, or nature-oriented tourism. A residential or hospitality concept could take advantage of the beach setting while accounting for the environmental requirements that apply to the specific parcel.

With nearly 9,000 m², the lot offers room to plan a residence, outdoor gathering areas, gardens, and separate guest spaces. Buyers considering cabins or a small lodge should assess the available services, site conditions, and permitted uses as part of their planning.

Location and Boat Access

Isla Chavelita is accessible by water from Estero Rico in Alanje, Río Chiriquí Viejo in Barú, and the open Pacific coast. The original listing describes an approximate one-hour boat journey from the David area, although travel times depend on the departure point, vessel, tides, and weather.

Puerto Armuelles is described as approximately 25–30 kilometers away by boat. The route and travel time to this particular lot should be confirmed when arranging a visit.

Boat access is also an important consideration for future construction and day-to-day use. Buyers should review landing arrangements and transportation of building materials, supplies, and guests alongside their plans for the property.
