Isla Coiba

 
Overview

Coiba Island is part of Panama, off the country's Pacific Coast, in the Gulf of Chiriquí. Once a penal colony, it's now part of Coiba National Park, which is known for its diverse marine life and jungle animals including white-faced monkeys.

Description

Dive sites on Bahia Damas Reef are home to manta rays, whales, and hammerhead sharks. Offshore, Granito de Oro is a small island with a beach and coral reef. Panama’s Coiba National Park is incredible and exotic. Set along the Pacific coast near the Gulf of Chiriquí, this massive park protects the country’s largest island and some of the most biologically rich waters in Central America. For this reason alone, it’s a favorite among scuba divers and snorkelers.
