the ultimate surf destination in panama
Surf in Eco Venao
Playa Venao is considered Panama’s best beach break, a top surfing destination.
The main wave breaks left and right. There is usually always something to surf unlike other spots in the area that depend on swells.
Best Surfing spot in Panama
During the week the sea is often empty, making it a surfers dream.
At weekends locals do come and ride waves, but the nature of the beach break means it rarely feels crowded.
Many of the national surfing competitions take place here at Playa Venao.
Sand Floor
The break is best approaching and around high tide. When it’s real big, there are good breaks in other spots on the same beach.
It does close out when the waves go much higher than eight feet.
The sand floor means it’s also a great beginners beach.
People say that you can learn in a few weeks what would take months in other spots – mainly because of the consistent waves in Venao.

This was pretty much the perfect locale for a short vacation where we could get away from it all...you can tire yourself out on the waves and recouperate in a hammock and freak out to the sound of lightning and howler monkeys and put yourself back together with a tropical drink.

My family and I just had an incredible vacation here at Eco Venao ! . Renting a house here was the best decision for us as it gave us the space and privacy we wanted to relax , lounge around and watch the beautiful nature .
