Updated: 5 days ago
INTRO Pedasí is a small, friendly town on the southern tip of Panama's Azuero Peninsula. It has become one of the country's most talked-about coastal communities. This short video tour shows why. Within a short drive of town you'll find quiet beaches, world-class surf, rich wildlife and a warm local culture. For many people who visit, it quickly starts to feel like home.
THE BEACHES The coast around Pedasí has dozens of beaches, each with its own character. Los Destiladeros offers secluded sand and rocky coves. Playa Venao draws surfers from around the world with waves all year. Just offshore, the Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge has clear turquoise water, white sand and some of the best snorkeling on the Pacific side of Panama.
WILDLIFE AND NATUREE very year from about July to October, humpback whales migrate through the waters off the Azuero coast, often in sight of shore. The region's beaches are also protected nesting grounds for sea turtles. Inland you'll find rolling green hills, forests, and the mangroves of the Río Purio, a peaceful place to paddle among the birdlife.
AN ACTIVE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE Life in Pedasí is lived outside. Residents surf, ride horses along the beach and through the countryside, kayak the mangroves, fish, take boat trips and practice yoga. Many say the fresh sea air and slower pace are what they value most.

The Azuero is known for its folk music, festivals, handmade polleras and fresh local food. Local families and a growing international community live side by side, and newcomers are welcomed. As the locals say, everyone who arrives wants to stay.
