A small wildlife refuge off Pedasí ringed by white coral-sand beaches and Panama's best-preserved Pacific reef flats. Frigatebirds nest in their thousands, black iguanas patrol the scrub, and snorkelers share the shallows with parrotfish and rays. Day trips run by panga from Playa Arenal; there are no facilities beyond ranger shelters.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
