Panama has some wonderful places along its pacific coast where you can have a superb vacation or retire quite comfortably. Here we'd like to talk about "Rio Mar" beach where there is a new residential tower underway that will be a great option for foreign retirees and investors alike. It has all the makings of a being a great "hot spot" in Panama.  

Rio Mar beach is less than 90 minutes from Panama City and has always been known for its fabulous surf with waves oftentimes getting above 6 feet. You also have Canopy Tours in the area that take you to the historic mountain town of El Valle (of Anton) where all sorts of fun and delicious cuisine await you. And of course, you can't talk about this part of Panama without mentioning the fine restaurant "Los Camisones" which is only minutes away. Other activities in the area include fishing, diving, swimming, jet skiing, ATV rentals, horseback riding and even bicycles are easy to come by.

The name Río Mar was given to this beach because there is a picturesque river that emptys into the Pacific Ocean here. And as you may or may not know by now, Panamas pacific coast has inviting white & dark sand beaches with sea breezes and crystalline waters that will just mesmerize you.

Getting back to the new residential tower going up it will be called "Rio Mar Luxury Beach Community". This exciting piece of beachfront real estate is an innovative project where privacy and security will be a given. The entire undertaking will cover about 2.5 hectares (over 7 acres) and the amenities will be ultra modern. Simply put, this complex will be an enticing investment for even the most discretionary real estate investor.

Other well known resorts along this strip of beaches include Decameron, Playa Blanca, Vista Mar, Bijao and of course Coronado which is the first beach resort community to take shape along Panamas pacific coast. And its good to note that almost anywhere you travel in this general area you'll find plenty of arts & crafts to shop around for.

As we alluded to earlier, this section of the country is also near the mountains where Panama has more than its share of wildlife, marvelous foliage & flowers, abundant tree species, waterfalls, rivers, canyons and just about anything that appeals to those who love the tropics.
