Isla Colon

Isla Colon is the most inhabited island in the Bocas Del Toro archipelago, and it is home to some of the area's best ecotourism and beach destinations. Bocas Town, the province's principal metropolis and hub, is likewise located on Isla Colon. You'll want to return to this region for ATMs and grocery stores if you opt to stay on another island in Bocas.

Playa Estrella, commonly known as "Starfish Beach," is a protected ecotourism attraction on Isla Colon where you can learn about Afro-Caribbean culture and food. After that, drive to Playa Bluff for some world-class surfing and to learn about the local sea turtle conservation efforts. It's popular to stop at Paki Point, a laid-back beach where you may grab a beer, on the route to Playa Bluff. Playa Tortuga, a beach resort with the area's largest beachfront pool, and Boca del Drago's picture-perfect beaches are also worth a visit.

If you'd prefer to take on the island's natural splendor, visit the Finca Los Monos Botanical Garden to see some native vegetation. You can see dolphins straight off the coast at the dolphin preserve. If you have the time, go on a boat tour and choose one that suits your interests.
