About Panama Viejo

Panama Viejo, nestled in the Provincia de Panamá, offers an exposed beach break known for its historical significance adjacent to the ruins of the old Spanish capital. The surf here is best enjoyed on large swells during high tide, where it forms mushy waves. While it presents a unique historical backdrop, the wave conditions are somewhat unreliable, making it a more challenging spot for dedicated wave riding.
