Bluff Beach All To Ourselves!

In northern Panama there is a set of islands called Bocas Del Toro. The most developed island in this archipelago is called Isla Colon and Lindsay and I spent about 3 days in this amazing place. The island has a town called "Bocas" but we stayed a few miles up the coast in a little guesthouse called Hotel La Corolina. In my research I had read about an incredible beach called Playa Bluff on the north eastern side of the Island. Upon arrival at the guesthouse the owner told us it was only about a 15 minute walk up the road. The next day we grabbed our swimsuits, towels and some borrowed chairs and umbrellas and headed off to the beach. The walk takes you along a dirt road that hugs the coast. You pass a few humble farmhouses, some chickens, a garbage landfill and numerous local kids before you finally stumble on one of the most amazing beaches in the world. Bluff beach is full of golden sands and bright blue water and stretches for well over a mile. We were shocked to see that we literally had the entire beach to ourselves. We set up the beach chairs, umbrellas and towels and settled in for a day of doing nothing! We would read or listen to our music on the beach and then head down to the water to swim, snorkel and play. We were constantly scared of Jelly Fish so I would put on the snorkel mask and go on "Jelly Fish Patrol" before Lindsay would get in the water. Although we were the only humans on the beach a number of local dogs, including "sugar" and "Lola" from the guesthouse, had joined us. They would play with us on the beach then disappear for a few hours and come back ready to play again. After a few hours of chillin we decided to take a walk down the beach with our doggie friends. We did run into one lady but that was literally the only other person we saw the entire time. To this day Lindsay considers Bluff Beach her all-time favorite and it certainly tops my list as well. The day we spent together on this beautiful and secluded beach will be a memory we will cherish forever.
