Panama Beach

Playa Panama

This beach is in the Gulf of Papagayo which means that there is no view of the open sea. Brown Pelicans and Magnificent Frigatebirds are frequent and we also saw Royal, Bridled and Forster’s Terns and Brown Noddies. Streams enter the sea to the left and right of El Nakuti and here small numbers of waders were present including up to four Wilson’s Plovers.
