What is it like to retire in Bocas del Toro?
We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Bocas del Toro. They said...
"Retirees in Bocas del Toro and its surroundings enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of activities to keep them busy. The area is home to an active expat community, with many retirees from the United States, Canada, and Europe. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the local museums, art galleries, and historical sites. There are also plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, such as swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. For those looking for a night out, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, as well as live music and entertainment," remarked another expat in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
"Bocas is a typical Caribbean small town in a lot of ways. But it has something more special too. Laid back, easy. Night life is fairly limited to bars. Permanent retirees are very active and interactive with locals. It seems you can be as busy or as lazy as you like. The music community provides many opportunities for entertainment in a variety of genres. Fairs, holiday celebrations and carnivals happen thru-out the year. Horseback, quad rentals, golf carts provide good fun and opportunities to see the whole island of colon. World class surf and good fishing too," said a member in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
