5. Take a beach break

Hotel

La Playita is a bar and swimming pool at The Beach House, a small hotel between two islands—Isla Naos and Isla Perico. Revel in a day at the pool for a small fee, and if you time the tide right, enjoy the beach, too. Stick around to enjoy live music spun by a DJ when the sun goes down on weekends.

6. Dine outside with the skyline

Restaurant

Have a great dining experience at Alberto’s. This Italian restaurant has indoor as well as outdoor seating with a fabulous backdrop of the Panama City skyline.
