Panama Pacific Beaches beach forecast
Panama · 12 beaches and resorts
Veabird grades 12 beaches and resorts in Panama Pacific Beaches every six hours on seaweed, water, waves, weather and crowds, including an area page covering a whole stretch of beach. The most are in Panama City, Ciudad del Saber and Coronado. These beaches sit outside the Atlantic sargassum belt, so seaweed is rarely a factor. Across the region, average highs run from about 86°F in September, October and November to 91°F in March and April, and the sea from about 75°F to 82°F. Rain is most likely in October and least likely in February and March.
