Two oceans, one province
Veraguas is unique in Panama: it’s the only province with coastline on both the Caribbean and the Pacific. It blends ranching heartland, colonial towns and world-class diving.
Highlights
- Santa Catalina — Panama’s premier surf town and the gateway to Coiba.
- Coiba National Park — a UNESCO-listed marine wonderland.
- Santiago — the busy provincial capital on the Pan-American Highway.
- Historic churches and ranch country inland.
Diving and surfing
The waters off Santa Catalina and Coiba draw divers and surfers from around the world, with rich marine life and consistent waves.
Why it matters
Veraguas offers a quieter, wilder side of Panama, far from the city crowds.
