By Boat only and
then a 10 min. walk
along a beautiful,
well maintained
Jungle path.
The boat ride from Bocas takes about 10 minutes, the cost is $ 10.00 for a single person,
$ 8.00 if there are more than one person for the round trip. Then it will cost $ 3.00 per
person to use the trail across the Island to the beach. Getting there and back is a total of $
13.00 for one person or $ 11.00 each if more than one.
A beer at the Flip Flop Bar & Grill costs $ 1.75, a soda $ 1.00, mixed drinks Piña Colada,
Banana Colada etc. $ 3.00. Food runs from about $ 7.XX for chicken to $ 12.00 for
Lobster. Our recommendation is to bring a sandwich for emergencies. When we visited
there was no food other than Chips and Patacones (Patacones are basically a banana
type fruit, but not sweet and much firmer, sliced and pounded into little patties and then
fried). We were explained they could not cook on that day because the breeze prevented
them from keeping the fire going. Anyway, we survived on chips and it was a great visit
anyway.
What can you do at Read Frog Beach?
Of course you can find the tiny Red Frog, small in size, secreting a toxin that supposedly
is only harmful in areas where the skin is broken.
For the rest we just let the pictures of the trail and the beach do the talking. You´ll figure it
out in no time.
