Playa Diablillo beach

Playa Diablillo is a wild beach located to the west of Colon town in Panama. The beach is beautiful and has many shaded trees and palms. There is a lot of garbage in the backside. Most of it comes from the ocean. Swimming is good in the center of the bay. But there are many coral reefs at the sides, thus being more suitable for snorkeling. Attention! Waves are strong during the high tide. In addition, you can step on sharp corals. Since these are not visible from the shore, when the tide is high. Extra attention! Two meter crocodiles live in the river. Sometimes they even visit a creek, that flows into the ocean. However, they were not seen in the salt water. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
