Bocas is one of the very few Caribbean surf spots with good sized waves. There may be better and bigger waves in the Pacific, but here, when you surf, you do it in turquoise waters, while you ride above colorful coral reefs or white sand. There are beach breaks, point breaks and reef breaks, lefts, and rights for all tastes and preferences. You can find breaks three minutes away from Isla Colon. The preferred surf spots are Wizard, Bluff, Punch, The Point at Carenero and Tiger Tail. It is important to visit these spots with somebody who knows the area, especially if you will be surfing over a reef break.

Dortmund Zoo specialises in South American flora and fauna and is home to a staggering amount of 1.500 animals. Here you can admire animals such as lions, Angolan giraffes, green Iguanas, Sumatran tigers and more than you could possible dream of.

Argassi beach extends for a kilometre along the island's southeastern coast. While its strip of sand is narrow, limiting its appeal for all-day sunbathing, it remains a pleasant spot for a swim. The coastline features numerous coves and rock formations, creating an interesting environment for snorkelling. The beach offers a wide range of water sports and is well-equipped for families, especially thanks to the clear shallow waters. The adjacent town contributes significantly to its appeal, with a variety of lively bars, restaurants and shops.
