Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Santa Catalina is a tiny surf village on Panama's Pacific coast and the jumping-off point for Coiba National Park (a remote UNESCO marine reserve with extraordinary diving). The surfing is world-class and the dive operators group solo travelers naturally for the Coiba day trips. The village is small and very laid-back; accommodation is basic. Bring cash as there are no ATMs.
