Playa Venao

Playa Vanao, on the Peninsula of Azuero, is regarded as one of Panama's top surfing spots. In Playa Venao, surfing is a major attraction. Playa Venao has a variety of wave sizes, making it a great area to learn how to surf. The south-facing beach is ideal for south-facing swells. But even if you are not a surfer, there is enough to do here. You may put up your beach chair or towel on the golden-brown sands and watch the surfers battle the waves. Besides, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, diving, stand-up paddleboarding, and whale viewing are all available activities. Hiking, horseback riding, yoga, and eco-spas are all options for land-based activities, as is visiting the adjacent weekly Pedas market.

Accommodation options range from premium backpacker lodges to luxury beachfront hotels, as well as more affordable options in Pedasi's small town. Playa Venao is just one of the several beaches along this stretch of coastline; Bull Beach and Playa Cambutal are two more worth visiting.
