What people say

"Bluff Beach on Isla Colón is known for its famous and powerful waves. It offers massive tubes and is loved by experienced surfers for its challenges. The break is close to the beach in shallow water, resulting in broken boards. Intermediate surfers can enjoy riding tubes when the wave is 3-5 feet, benefiting from a short paddle out. However, when it gets bigger, only advanced surfers should attempt it. Type of Wave: Beach Break Difficulty: Advanced Crowd Level: It is a long beach so you can choose if you want to surf with other people or not! How to Get There: 15 Min. Boat Ride or 20 Minute Land Taxi from Bocas Town Getting there: To reach Playa Bluff, take a 20 min colectivo from the town center for $1.50, 15 min boat ride, bike for about 45 minutes to an hour, or opt for a taxi (approximately $6-8 one way per person).

"One of the most beautiful beaches I've been to! We went in early September and the water was extremely calm, which according to the locals, is rare. We were able to swim the whole time we were there, but we were warned it's usually unsafe to do so."
