We hit up Playa Panama bright and early to check out the black sand beaches. It was wonderfully empty, and it was definitely dark sand. It had a lot of silt, or something. Ryan kept saying it was really fine, and we decided someone would pay big money to have it during a massage. Anyway, we found a shady spot under a thorny tree for a couple hours. I finished my book; Ryan looked for crabs. We tried out the ocean. The mucky-ness of the sand made it very hard to see your feet. Also, the sand went out so far! You could practicality walk to the tree line if desired. We didnt because there were hidden rocks everywhere. So, we enjoyed the water quite close to the beach.
This one was only 10 or 15 kilometers further north. It seemed to be just around the trees to the next cove. There was such a big difference though! The beach was busier, sand was sandier and the water was much clearer, less rocks too. It was rather overcast while we were here, but that worked out just fine for us. We spent most of the time floating around in the clear waves.
We stopped at Playa de Coco on the way back for some food. We didn’t stay long after enjoying a slice of pizza. We checked out some shops down the main stretch, but it was almost entirely cheap souvenir shops.
Oh, and on the way back, we saw two cows just wandering a dirt mountain road!
