The island has a lot of potential for tourism. Right now they need to invest more in their beach facilities, maybe a better "food court" or food area with better chairs and tables. Also they need to make sure visitors pick up their trash after them.

The beach is lovely...its worth walking along the sandbar and rest on / near the little island. Lots of cheap food and drink on offer at the beach and some shopping. A few other good places to eat near ferry point. I loved Mundi's. Evening options limited. This is really a beach and walking location (if you start early in the day...Hot!). There is limited offer for food, drink, shopping. But thats the beauty of the place.....

Taboga is a lovely spot for soaking up the sun. It's only 30mins ferry -$24 return- from Panama City and charming. If you are doing a day trip make sure you have booked your return in advance particularly on the weekends when it is a big hit with locals too.

Taboga Island was very relaxing and quiet. My favorite place to go there was the cafe in the church plaza. Also, on low tide, you can lounge on the beach that stretches to the small island nearby. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants and water activities do not open every day or sometimes at all on the days that they are supposed to be open. It can be hard to find food at night so it is a good idea to make reservations at the callaloo restaurant. And make sure that your hotel is not next to a chicken coop because of the noise. We had a very positive experience staying on the island. We went for a very long hike and got lost on the way down but it was very worth it for the view. It was very nice to get out of the city and go to the beach on Taboga Island. The ferry that takes you to the island for $10 each way is called tabogaexpress and they also do snorkeling tours. They are very friendly and were so accommodating to us. It was a great experience!

I was very nice, the only thing is that we preferred to stay over the weekday thinking it would not be full of tourists and we would get to do more things, but because of this most of the locations we closed, so i would recommend to go over the weekend (Friday to Sunday maybe)

Taboga is a small, poor island. The best thing about it was the people. They were friendly and helpful like other Panamanians we have met. Taboga itself does not have much to offer. The beach is not very big. There is a lot of trash and many abandoned buildings. It is OK if you are looking for a rustic beach vibe or a short getaway from Panama City. Be aware that there are not too many restaurants open for evening meals. They seem to cater to the day trippers.
