Pedasi continued...

Pedasi has a small town feel and many amenities including 2 banks, 3 gas stations, a hardware store, 2 pharmacies, 2 beach bars, a gym, several good restaurants with a variety of cuisine, several grocery stores and a new medical clinic. Local help is easy to find for day-to-day services such as housekeeping, landscaping, pool services, and other needs.

A traffic jam is the local farmer moving his cows from one pasture to the other!  Large cattle ranches on rolling countryside surround the village.  Cowboys are often seen riding their horses in town and Panama City it is only a five hour car ride away. Beautiful empty beaches, enough good restaurants, little traffic, the small-town feel, and the goodwill and helpfulness of locals and expats all combine to create a lifestyle that is greatly appreciated every day.

Pedasi’s peaceful and not crowded beaches are ideal for walking, whale & turtle watching, fishing, body surfing and bird watching.  There are no boardwalks, vendors, gift shops, or cooler police.  You will experience cool ocean breezes and the air feels and smells fresh.  It is only a 20 minute boat ride from Arenal beach to the sparkling white sand beaches of Isla Iguana. 

Pedasi is also known as the Tuna capital of Panama and is a well-known destination to enjoy world-class fishing.  We have some of the best Sport fishing in Latin America.  Tuna, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other big fish are caught close to shore allowing small boats to get quickly into the action.

#6: Pedasí, Panama

A former fishing village, Pedasí, on Panama's Azuero Peninsula, is home to a big and growing community of expats, retirees, and second-home owners from around the world. The big draw is the unspoiled Pacific coast, some of the most beautiful anywhere. Of the dozen beaches within close proximity, Playa Venao is the best known, famous for its surfing and the venue for international surf competitions.

Pedasí is also a sport fisherman's dream. Just offshore, the continental shelf drops off dramatically creating what's known in fishing circles as the Tuna Coast. This is also one of the best places to see the annual migration of humpback whales. Imagine watching these magnificent mammals pass by offshore from your kitchen window.

Improvements to the Pan-American Highway have made Pedasí more accessible; it's now a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Panama City. The good news is that, while foreign interest in this once very remote spot continues to expand as a result of the easier access, the area remains traditional at its core. The local economy is based on cattle ranching, fishing, and farming rice, corn, and sugarcane, and local artisans continue to make unique products according to generations-old techniques The Azuero Peninsula is "el corazón de Panamá"—the heart of Panama, proud of its folklore, customs, traditions, and festivals, many passed down from when the Spanish ruled the region in the 17th and 18th centuries. Notably, the first cries for independence from Spain came from this region.

Pedasí has a village atmosphere. The park gazebo is the center of life. This is where locals gather to gossip and talk about the good ol' days or play dominoes. Come nightfall, the spot transforms into a meeting place for the young, who meet here to listen to music, run, and ride their bicycles under the stars. Pedasí has the necessities of life, including a public health clinic, two banks, a public library, and a small shop selling surf and beach wear, but remains relatively undeveloped. There are no street signs, roads aren't well-maintained, and the clinic provides only basic care. This is a place to come to leave the 21st century behind.
