Panama City Beaches Area
In this Panama Special Report, we bring you the Panama City Beaches Area.
The Pacific coastal area, just north of Panama City, is where you will find these thriving beach communities, including the towns of Punta Chame, Nueva Gorgona, and Coronado.
$ 14.95
Expats tend to think of Coronado or Gorgona (aka Nuevo Gorgona) when they think of the City Beaches. But, really, the area is the entire stretch of beach starting at Punta Chame in the east and going west to Playa Juan Hombrón near Río Hato.
For years, wealthy Panamanians have been coming to their “city beach house” to get away from the hectic pace of Panama City. The communities of Punta Chame, Nueva Gorgona, Coronado, and scattered private family land holdings have long been weekend escape locations.
The multitude of expats who have arrived in the last decade, or so, has turned the immediate Coronado area into a Little America. Strip malls resemble those found Stateside, restaurants are often gringo-run, stores are big, shiny, and new, and English can be heard as often as Spanish when walking the aisles. This is the area that most people refer to when discussing the City Beaches… But there’s more to be had than this well-worn path…

Albrook and Clayton, Panama City, Panama
In this Panama Special Report, we bring you the areas of Albrook and Clayton, Panama City.
Both Albrook and Clayton originated as part of the Panama Canal Zone. The infrastructure and neighborhoods were built by U.S. engineers to be used by the U.S. armed forces. When the U.S. government turned the Panama Canal over to the Panamanians 10 years ago, Clayton and Albrook came as part of the package. In the decade since, these two communities have developed into quiet, peaceful residential areas with parks, single-family homes, some of the best schools in Panama, and small retail areas. Perfect if you’re relocating with a family but very appealing, too, if you’re just looking for a more suburban experience.

Chame, Panama
In this Panama Special Report, we bring you a closer look at the District of Chame and its most popular town, Punta Chame, which—in high season—draws beach-goers of all stripes, from surfers, kite-surfers, sport-fishermen, extreme sport-lovers, etc.
While it shares the same stretch of coastline as expat hot spot Coronado (which has seen major development over the past decade), Chame remains largely undiscovered, unpenetrated, and underrated.
Located in the Panamá Oeste Province, Chame comprises 11 small towns that sprawl out along the Panamerican Highway. On the hour-and-a-half drive it takes to reach the area from Panama City, you pass national parks, sleepy hamlets, mountains, and mangrove forests before finally arriving at the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.
