The road to get to the beach is quite rocky and it recommendable to go by 4x4 vehicle. You can also walk all the way there, but be aware it is a rather long walk

Things to do in Panama

Going into Gorgona town, exactly at the end of the road you will find Playa Malibu (Malibu beach). Here you will get one of the best surfing spots in the Panama Bay with long rides and great tubes. The break is located in front of the river, you can't miss it. Normally, the right break is good at low tide and the left is good at medium tide.
 
The beach is also suitable for swimming, but be aware that currents are quite strong in this area and sometimes swirls can be formed. Find out its best season and enjoy one of the most popular spots in Panama.
