Polo Beach (Bocas del Toro) is located outside the Old Bank settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"This serene and picturesque beach, situated near Red Frog Beach, left us mesmerized. We strolled along its shores every day and it felt like we were in paradise. During our walks, we also had the pleasure of spotting a sloth amongst the trees nearby."

Liam Sanderson

"Ah, the beach. A place where the sand is hot, the sun is scorching, and the ocean is... super calm? Yes, apparently this beach is so serene that you'll have it all to yourself. No need to worry about sharing your patch of sand with pesky tourists or noisy families. It's almost like your own private oasis... if you're into that kind of thing. And sure, the scenery is beautifu..."
