Playa Panama Beach

The resorts second beach accessible from the property by walking is Playa Panama, a long multifaceted beach with two other resort located on it. The beach is about one mile long and offers wonderful beach strolling in the early morning and at sunset a spectacular view of the sun sinking into the Pacific with peninsula's on either side of the bay.

Vista Bahia sits on the far western end of this long beach and the other end has a substantial buildup of sandy shoreline with a secluded swimming cove. Midway down the beach is a nice little Costa Rica styled resort called Casa Conde which offers to our guests drinks and dinning.

The beaches physical characteristics are created by the bays tidal flows which come into the center of the bay and then, a gentle current runs parallel to this beach toward our resort. The pushing current forces the far or eastern end with sand but as the current comes up against our little peninsula of Punta Vista Bahia, it must force its way around and when doing so the water picks up speed. This speeding water lifts the lighter material along with the sand and carries it to our other beach and out into the bay.

This daily cleaning action makes our end of Playa Panama, the beach's rocky bottom which allows crustaceans to grab an anchorage and permits multiple grabs, shelled creatures a foothold and from that the birds and fish come to eat. Thus, our end is the fishing and bird watching end while the far end is swimming and sunset views. Of course, our resort has the little gentle beach of Playitas for swimming and snorkeling which is created by that same peninsula that creates the Playa Panama rocky bottomed shoreline.

The bay has seven different beaches and the protection of the bay redirects the Pacific wave energy around the entire bay thus reducing wave strength and height. This calming action allows for kayaking snorkeling and waters that are warm, 86 degrees and easily access for swimming and enjoyment.
