This beach in Panama is a must-visit. It may be difficult to reach and a bit expensive, with basic accommodations, but it is definitely worth the effort.

The location is truly enchanting. We spent four days at Naranjo Chico and visited a different island each day. On the islands, you can purchase water, beer, sodas, snacks, and other items, but it can be pricey so it's best to bring your own supplies. Our tour package included breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with plenty of food to go around. The meals often featured freshly caught fish. I suggest bringing your snorkel gear as there is a fascinating underwater world to explore.

I had an amazing experience visiting this beach with limited amenities such as food, alcohol, electricity, and fresh water for bathing. The untouched beauty of the scenery, with no commercialism on the tiny island, was truly breathtaking. The sunrises, sunsets, water, and white sand were all incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend visiting if you have the opportunity. Just a tip: make sure to wear your swimsuit on the small boat that takes you to the island, as you will likely get wet. If you suffer from motion sickness, be sure to take your anti-motion sickness tablets, as the waves can be quite high for the small boats with only an outboard motor. Despite this, the experience is definitely worth it!
