and rolling hills. On the coast along the
Caribbean, the beaches on the provinces of
Colon, San Blas and Bocas del Toro and their
neighboring islands, are generally small have
coral reefs nearby. They are often near other
waterways and most have been formed by coral
buildup. These are the best beaches for scuba
diving. On the Pacific Ocean coast you'll find a
series of beaches which are easily accessible
from the Pan-American Road. Many water sports
including windsurfing, surfing and swimming are
practiced here.
Panama City, with a population of over
700,000, is full of cultural and ethnic
