Travel to Coronado
Coronado is located about 1 hour from Panama City. Coronado was one of Panama's first weekend/resort development areas, and set a start to the beach development boom. Currently one can find such amenities as full scale supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants of every type and price range, medical and veterinary clinics, gardening centers, hardware stores, banks, and outdoor markets etc. It is a fairly developed beach town.
Coronado has decent beaches that go on uninterupted for miles. The waters are not very family-friendly (in terms of tides and current) and the sand is dark. For a really nice beach you can travel to Santa Clara (only forty minutes further).
You can combine the visit to Coronado with nearby El Valle in the mountains, or Punta Barco.
