Boca del Drago
A quiet beach village at the northwestern tip of Isla Colón, the gateway to Starfish Beach and the starting point for trips to Bird Island.
Boca del Drago is at the tip of Isla Colón. Its beach is gently sloping and suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Several beachside restaurants serve Caribbean-style fried fish and coconut rice, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute has a field station nearby. This is the starting point for the walk to Starfish Beach, and you can also charter a small boat to Bird Island across the water. A minibus from the central park in Bocas Town takes about 40 minutes, and the last bus departs early, so keep an eye on the return time.
