Eating pizza while watching surfers just 50 meters away is a unique experience. And the pizza is actually pretty good!

BomBom Beach Bar is a fantastic spot located right in the center of Bluff Beach — peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to relax. The staff are friendly, service is quick, and we never needed a reservation or had to wait for a table. What truly stands out are their drinks. Out of my entire Panama trip, BomBom served the best drinks, hands down. Absolute bombs. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with breakfast starting at 8 AM. The breakfast is a set menu, but definitely worth it. If you're staying at Island Plantation, breakfast is included; otherwise, everything is still reasonably priced. If I’m ever back in Bluff Beach or staying at Island Plantation again, I would return to BomBom more than once — it’s that good. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.
