Bocas del Toro is a huge sheltered archipelago of mangrove and jungle covered islands. The main town of Bocas is situated on the Island of Colon. The town has a beautiful setting with a coastline of semi colonial buildings set on platforms over the water. There is a negligible tide in this area so the town and buildings do not get swamped in seawater.
The choices of anchorages for your yacht is vast. You can literally explore for many months and anchor in a different place each night. However we liked visiting the town of Bocas to enjoy the restaurants, cafes, and shopping so we anchored beside the town for a week.
When the hustle and bustle got too much we moved over to the Red Frog Marina on the big wild island of Bastimentos.
This is where we stayed for almost two months. We explored the island jungle, swam off the surf beaches and generally relaxed in calm waters listening to the jungle sounds and savouring the smells.
