The Lost Paradise of Panamá

Santa Catalina is a fishing village located southwest of Santiago. It’s on the Pacific, near Montijo Bay, which separates it from the Azuero Peninsula. Although improvements have been made over the years, it’s still a remote and simple place. Surfers discovered the waves around Santa Catalina years ago, and they still continue to come. It’s also a jumping off point for diving out around Isla Coiba, the former notorious penal colony. You can find a few low-cost places to stay and eat.
