About

Wizard Beach is located on the Caribbean Sea (part of South Atlantic Ocean) and it is in the 12th place out of 13 beaches in the Bocas del Toro region 4.9 km away from its center, the city of Bocas del Toro. It is one of the beaches of Old Bank settlement, just 1.3 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a long bay with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Wizard Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

To get to the beach, you need to walk along a mountain trail more than 1km long.

2 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Red Frog Beach, which has a rating of 8.6.

Wizard Beach (Bocas del Toro) is located outside the Old Bank settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Ah, the beach. A place where sand meets sea, and people flock to soak up the sun and surf. This particular beach is quite beautiful, but let's not forget that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The path leading to it can be quite treacherous, especially in the rainy season. In fact, even in late December, the mud was still pretty thick. But fear not, my fellow beach-goers, for the dry season should make things a bit easier. And let's not forget about the dangers of the water. While swimming can be a delightful activity, one must always be cautious of the current. It can be quite strong and before you know it, you'll be swept out to sea. So, enjoy the beauty of the beach, but do so with caution.

This stunning, unoccupied beach is an absolute gem. We embarked on our journey from the town and strolled for approximately 30 minutes. The path was smooth and not too strenuous, although the sun was blazing down on us. I highly suggest visiting this serene location as it provides the perfect setting to unwind and recharge.

This beach is a hidden gem that requires a short 20-minute stroll from Old Bank. Do not be swayed by the water taxi drivers who will try to deceive you into thinking that a machete is necessary to navigate the 45-minute trek through the dense jungle. They are not to be trusted.
