A lovely little corner of Panama
Boca Chica.
You’re in a good place.
Around the corner
Boca Chica village is 500 m away, with places to eat and the boats that head out to the islands. The nearest beach is a short walk from the door.
And a whole gulf beyond
Boca Chica is the gateway to the Gulf of Chiriquí National Marine Park. Think islands, mangroves, diving, and sportfishing. In season, humpback whales visit these waters, too.
