To access this beautiful and coveted beach, travel 1km past Playa Hermosa. However, Playa Panamá is much more than just a beautiful island. The Nacascolo Peninsula on the beach is home to dozens of historically significant archaeological sites, which are scattered across the peninsula and the upper beach.
