Beaches on Taboga Island

Taboga Island features warm waters and golden sands right near the ferry dock. The island offers three distinct coastal spots for swimming and relaxing.

The coastline of Taboga Island stretches for roughly 8 miles, but the primary swimming beaches are concentrated near the port. The dry season from mid-December through April provides the most reliable weather for spending a day on the sand.

Public bathroom and shower facilities are located near the beaches and cost $1 to $2 to use. Consuming personal alcohol on the beach is prohibited, so plan to purchase drinks locally.
