Coronado, way back in 1940, was only some sleepy ranches dotted with an unspoiled stretch of blue Pacific and white beaches. But now, Coronado is one of the most popular beach towns on the Pacific coast of Panama. It is located in the Arco Seco or ‘Dry Arch’ stretch of coastline, defined by the area’s low rainfall per year, just about an hour or so from Panama City.
For many years, Coronado has been a favorite place for Panamanians seeking a sun-soaked beach break, but it has evolved beyond that. This is due to the thriving expat community growing in the area.
Coronado is one of the developed beach towns on Panama’s Pacific coast. It offers most of the First World needs, and people residing here can still enjoy almost all of the conveniences back home, but in more affordable costs.
