One of the most famous snorkeling spots in Bocas de Toro, Crawl Cay is a tiny island located in the channel between Bastimentos and Popa Island (about 20 minutes by boat from Bocas town, or 10 - 15 minutes from Dolphin Bay). Crawl Cay is surrounded by lush coral gardens, the best of which begin just after the south-eastern tip of Bastimentos Island
The sea here is calm year-round, which make it suitable for snorkelers of all ages, and the abundance of tropical fish, coral heads and colorful sponges will keep experienced divers entertained as well. Water clarity is better than at other places but as always it depends on if it's rained during the previous days. On the typical Caribbean day with lots of sunshine and light blue skies, the waters of Crawl Cay are of luminous emerald green shades and make the perfect holiday postcard.
The Archipelago of Bocas del Toro is home to a semi-permanent population of Bottlenose dolphins. Its calm waters and abundance of small fish, crustaceans and squid seem to make the perfect grounds for the young ones' first stages of life. Calves and juveniles can be frequently spotted with their mothers, as well as small pods of 5 or 6 dolphins.
The dolphins of Bocas del Toro seem to have a special predilection for the bay locally known as Laguna Bocatorito (Dolphin Bay), which is about 12 km south of Bocas town (about 15 - 20 minutes by boat). This bay is bordered by the east side of Cristobal Island and an odd-shaped peninsula from the mainland. A labyrinth of shallow channels formed by mangroves screens its northern entrance, helping to make it a kind of giant natural aquarium, six kilometers across at its widest.
Swans' Cay, also known as Bird Island is birders paradise. Here you will find the only known nesting place in the Caribbean of the Red-billed Tropic Bird (Phaeton aethereus). Swans Cay is a rocky formation approximately 70 meters long, with a rounded quarter moon shape, pierced by two openings through one end, and rises 55 meters at the highest point. On the southern side, sheltered from the northeastern trade winds, there is a small sandy beach below a higher level area. Bushes and other vegetation cover the summit, and there is a small clump of coconut palms at the low end. A designated bird sanctuary, Isla Pajaros, also has brown booby (Sula leucogaster etesiaca), the brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis carolinensis), the frigate (Fregata magnificens) and many types of gulls and terns.
Red Frog Beach is a hidden paradise on the island of Bastimentos in the Caribbean archipelago of Bocas Del Toro, Panama. The crystal blue waters, unfailing temperate weather, pristine beaches, and remarkable jungle rainforest all combine to create a complete sense of unspoiled tropical tranquility. A peaceful diversion from the everyday grind, Red Frog Beach offers both adventure and escape with diving, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, Bocas surfing, beach hikes, nature walks, and much more.
Strategically placed in the most beautiful location in Bocas Del Toro, Red Frog Beach takes advantage of an incredible array of natural amenities that will captivate Panama vacation visitor and resident alike. The north facing "windward" side of the island is the perfect retreat for those seeking adventure, exploration and discovery. The island's distinctive wild life presents an unparalleled study in ecological evolution while the long barreling reef breaks, steep drops, and splitting tubes present a challenge few surfers can resist.
If peace, serenity, and relaxation are what you crave, you will find exactly what you're looking for on the "leeward" side of the island. From the calming sound of crystalline waters lapping onto white sand beaches to the enchanting song of the many indigenous bird species that call our island home, there are so many ways to entice the senses and relish in the feeling of sweet release.
No matter what you're looking for in island escape, you'll find it at Red Frog Beach in Bocas Del Toro Panama.
