My friend and I walked to Playa El Arenal. This is where most of the fishing charters leave their boats. Isla Iguana is about 5 miles out into the water from this beach. We saw a tour bus and others taking boats out to go fishing and tour the island. Playa El Arenal has a restaurant, and it looks like they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My friend got a coffee and I got a Panama beer. The beer was a dollar. I'm not positive because I forgot to look at the price of coffee, but it may have been under a dollar. This part of the beach does not look like a swimming beach because of all the trash. It's not very scenic.

(Translated by Google) Arrive in time to get a boat to the island. Boat cost all day $ 90. As soon as you arrive in Iguana, you must report to the forest ranger. They no longer ask for payment to enter but it is NOT allowed to bring liquor to Isla iguana or drink liquor on the beach. Do not insist! (Original) Llegue con tiempo para conseguir lancha hacia la isla. Costo de lancha todo el dia $90. Apenas llegue a Iguana, hay que reportarse con el guarda bosques. Ya no piden pago para entrar pero NO se permite llevar licor a Isla iguana o libar licor en la playa. No insista!

Beautiful and fun beach. Can catch boat taxi to Isla Iguana. Cantinas and boat launch nearby.

We arrived in the afternoon at this beach. The water wasn't very clear, fortunately no currents and only little waves. Lots of boats at the beach. Trash again and again. One could have booked a trip to Iguana Island - the trip now costs $ 80. When swimming in the sea, my daughter got stung by a jellyfish and developed a significant rash afterwards.

Beautiful place

Great family place.

We love going to this beach. There’s always something interesting, from the various boats on the beach, launching for the Isla Iguana, to the wildlife in the area. We enjoy swimming closer to the river mouth as the sea is flatter.

Nice clean beach. Many fisherman coming in and out. And a small fonda (did not visit).

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, very friendly people! (Original) Hermoso lugar, muy amable su gente!

Beautiful place. Iguana island is visible. Can rent a boat to get there. Was too rough to go that day.

.50 for the toilet and $1 for a shower. Nice beach area.

Ok

Right across the iguana island
