La Miel Beach (Panama)
Playa Blanca, La Miel
A Panamanian white-sand beach just over the border ridge, with very clear water. It is the most popular beach in the area.
From Sapzurro, climb the stairs to the border ridge, where you can overlook both countries' bays. Going down the other side, register at the Panamanian border post to enter the small village of La Miel. Its white-sand beach (Playa Blanca) is shallow and clear. Fried-fish stalls and duty-free shops line the shore. You must carry your original passport for inspection, and visitors may only spend a day trip in the village, not go deeper into Panama. Return to the border by 4 p.m.
Opening hours
Daytime (border post approx. 08:00–16:00)
