Beaches and world class waves:

Surfers are always looking for something special in each wave and there's a lot of unique discoveries to be in the ocean that touches Panama's 1500 miles(2414 kilometers) of coastline. It helps those other factors, such as the country's low crime rate, making Panama one of the safest places in Central America right now and the use of the United States dollar as legal tender makes a surf trip down there a bit more enticing. For those who know how to surf, or wish to learn, Panama is bordered by two oceans from which to choose, the Caribbean and Pacific. This allows locals and visitors to take advantage of appropriate weather and wave conditions, and some of the most popular surf spots are within an hour or two from the Panama City center. And, ponder this: Nowhere else in the entire world, can you surf good waves on the coast of two oceans in a single day!. In Panama you can surf all year round; beaches are uncrowded, warm and paradisaical. Its just a matter of knowing what's what and when.
