Surfing in Panama

Surfing in PanamaSurfing in Panama2010

Costa Rica has been a surfer’s paradise destination for a long time, but it’s near neighbor, Panama, is getting onto the surfer’s map. Santa Catalina, in the South of the province of Veraguas has a respectable surfing beach, and business is growing in popularity in the area. Surfers from all over the world are coming to this cheap destination to enjoy the world class quality waves which sometimes reach 20 feet.

Santa Catalina can be reached from the small town of Sona, which has an ATM, grocery store and essentials. It takes about one hour to travel down the paved road to the coast. The road ends in Playa Santa Catalina, which is little more than a fishing village with some surf camps, low cost basic hotels and a few eating establishments, as shown on the map below
