This area has been designated as a National Marine Park. It is a gem filled with various species and covered with jungle and mangroves. Much needs to be done to prevent development from encroaching this area. If you are interested in participating in preserving this area, do contact BTSA, Bocas Sustainable Tourism Alliance in Bocas del Toro More

At the Bastimentos National Park you can go to the beach, do zipline, walk around the jungle, learn to surf or paddle surf, or just hanging around and see the tiny red frogs and "perezosos" bears in the trees. They have places to eat and drink. More
