PLAYA VENAO
Playa Venao is an up-and-coming beach destination and surf spot that had once been one of Panama’s best-kept secrets.
Until about 20 years ago, the only roads to the beach were dirt roads, and locals will tell you stories of spending upwards of 10 hours getting there in search of surf and snacking on handmade ceviche made by local fishermen. The area has always been home to ranchers and fishermen, but there had been no actual “town” at this beach until about 10 years ago, when a group of investors fell in love with the area and opened beachfront hotels and restaurants.
Over the past decade, tourism to the beach town Playa Venao, as well as immigration of expats & retirees to Pedasi, has steadily increased.
This area exposure has allowed nearby Cañas to appreciate in value as a residential center and launch pad for tourist activities.
