BlueBay Coronado Golf & Beach Resort has everything you need to ensure all members of the family have a great time in Coronado, Panama.

One of the favorite spots in Panama for locals and tourists alike, Coronado is a coastal city with a relaxed atmosphere and exotic beaches that make it an excellent option for family holidays. Coronado is a paradise for those who love the sea and water sports and a great spot to connect nature and cultural routes in the region. When planning a family holiday in Coronado, you have it all, beaches, waterfalls, valleys and grasslands. Here, we share four unforgettable activities to keep in mind for your next holiday in Coronado.

A family day in Playa Coronado

You can enjoy a really fun day on Coronado's exotic beaches with water sports like snorkeling, sailing, surfing, head out to sea on a boat trip or simply stroll along the beach.

Trekking in Anton's Valley

Generally known as El Valle, it's an enjoyable option for the whole family, where you start the day by discovering the valley's fascinating landscape, a small village located on what was the second largest volcanic crater lake in the world. The "Piedra Pintada" is a must visit with its rock carving from the pre-Columbian culture. These are found under the crater known as The Sleeping Indian Girl, a chain of hills with the silhouette of an Indian girl lying down to the west of El Valle. The Nispero botanical gardens and the orchid center are also located in the valley and well worth a visit.

A fishing trip in La Arenosa

Spending the day fishing with the kids in the La Arenosa Lake is a special family experience in a very unique environment. You'll love the beautiful views of the mountain and the Lake Gatun reservoir as you cast your fishing line and patiently wait for a bite. And the good thing is you don't need to worry about fishing gear as there are boats that leave from the port and the guides will provide you with fishing rods, bait and boots and take you to the best fishing spots in the area.
