These islands are located in the Atlantic side of Panama in the San Blas Archipelago.  The Kuna indians live there and are quite charming.

Our deep gratitude goes to the people at SanBlasVacations.com for donating our room and board at San Blas Panama. Not only did they give us lodging but they took the time to show the beauty of the area’s beaches and islands.

Believe it or not, this picture was taken on a Saturday.

Most of the coastline is like this, like having your own private beach!
