At the far tip of the peninsula, by Playa Caracol, a large resort development has grown up in recent years — several phases of residential complexes right at the water. This is where the bulk of what is on offer on the coast is concentrated. Everyday infrastructure on the peninsula is thin: two small shops, a few restaurants, and for anything else people drive to Chame or to Coronado, half an hour away.
Punta Chame is a long sandy spit on the Pacific coast: wide empty beaches, kitesurfing wind and seclusion. For buyers who want space and watersports within reach of the capital.
Nearby & approximate drive times:
- Panama City — ~1 h 15 min – 1 h 30 min

- Coronado (shops, golf) — ~30–40 min
