We sail to Isla Grande
As you get off the boat, you will be greeted by palm trees and white sand beaches. Isla Grande, a popular getaway for people escaping the urban grind of Panama City, is an ideal place to snorkel, dive, or simply enjoy the island's laid-back atmosphere. There are no roads here, just a small path along the southern coast of the island, backed by pastel-colored cabins. Many of the people who live here are of African descent and earn their living by fishing and growing coconuts; you will taste both when you taste the local cuisine.
