In Panama, the great outdoors will be your playground all year round here in the Los Santos province on the Azuero Peninsula on the Pacific Ocean. And that includes being able to go to the beach anytime you want.
Uverito Beach stretches 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) where most of the time all you'll see is an occasional beach walker or jogger out for their exercise. Most of the long beach has single family vacation homes and is populated by a good mix of expats and locals.
The house is conveniently located just 10 minutes from the city of Las Tablas, and the city of Chitre is about 30 minutes to the north. This gives you access to shopping, healthcare, restaurants, and entertainment. Las Tablas is the capital of the Panamanian province of Los Santos, with a population of about 9,000. Las Tablas is a recognized national center of Panamanian folk: art, music, gastronomy, architecture, culture and literature.
It is known for a lively yearly Carnival, in which the city splits into two competing factions, "Calle Arriba" (Uptown, literally "Street Above") and "Calle Abajo" (Downtown / Street Below), both centered on two streets of the same name. Each faction will have a carnival queen, a parade, fireworks, music, a decorated plaza, food stands, presentations, concerts, games, contests, etc., all attempting to overpower the other faction's efforts. The drive from the beach winds past farmland dotted with cattle and horses.
If you feel like getting out on the water, you can go to the Port of Mensabe, a five minute drive around the corner from the house. Fishing is a major pastime and a number of fishing pangas can be contacted to go fishing.
And if you feel like kicking back, local restaurants in rustic eateries serve fried fish and ceviche for a few dollars each. Add an ice-cold beer for a buck and you can't beat it.
Uverito Beach is the go-to beach for families on weekends, holidays, and vacations, so it can be loud and crowded at times. But during the week the wide, flat, dark-sand beach is empty and it's a nice place to hang out with friends and family. The house is across the street from the beach with grassy access, a covered patio area, and hammock/rocking chairs to relax.
The journey from Panama City to Las Tablas was fine, we stopped several times to enjoy the different restaurants along the way. When we arrived at Uverito at night, we saw a parade of dozens of crabs crossing back and forth across the street...that is an experience that neither my daughter or cousin had ever seen before; it was awesome. We could hear the surf of the Pacific Ocean as we reached the residence. Once inside, we got real comfortable with the AC in the 3 bedrooms, bathroom, dining on the balcony with grill, kitchen amenities, etc.
At dawn we found a spectacular sunrise, the sea was calm and seabirds were at their height. In the distance, we could see fishing boats and an atmosphere of total relaxation. Going to Las Tablas to bring back breakfast to eat on the terrace was a good start to the day!
From my experience and comments from my daughter and cousin, I highly recommend this house from the bottom of my heart. Especially the food at Rincon El Faro restaurant is very good and within walking distance. I hope your experience is as good as mine. Regards!

Great view of the beach. Very close to beach just walk across the street, not bad. The place was clean and spacious. Not far from town or restaurants. It was raining season, so during the evening hours of 6 and 7pm lots of mosquitos, make sure you take your bug spray if going out during those hours. Overall great stay.

Great View
Great view and location from the beach.
Needs a bit of tidings up outside on the balcony. A lot of dead insects on the floor.
Overall, clean and cool.
