And if you’re into golf, they’ve got world-class courses designed by the big shots in the golf course architect world. Plus, there are other nearby beaches like Playa Serena and Playa Teta, catering to the surfers and kiteboarders among us.
For those who love a bit of history and culture, Coronado’s got some cool museums and landmarks. Check out the Panama Canal Museum in nearby Panama City or swing by the Museum of Contemporary Art – both pretty fascinating.
