Isla Carenero

Carenero Island is the closest island to Bocas Town on Isla Colon, and it's only a few minutes away by boat. It's also one of the smallest of the Bocas del Toro archipelago's major islands. In roughly an hour, you may hike or paddle around the entire island.

Carenero Island is an excellent choice for people looking for a more sleepy, laid-back island vibe. The majority of hotels are on or near the beach, with some having gorgeous crystal clean beaches directly in front of them. The restaurants in this area are excellent, with a variety of international and local seafood as well as vegetarian fare. Go for lunch, then relax on one of the many beaches that surround this small island while sipping a beverage or tropical fruit juice.

Activities here include surfing, snorkeling, paddling, hiking and just unwinding on one of the beaches.

Location: in the Caribbean West of Panama
