Ample coral reefs litter the ocean and sea life such as clown fish, angel fish, butterfly fish, red snapper, mahi-mahi, parrot fish, stingrays, and nurse sharks.

Things to do in Contadora Panama

Visit the Islands
These islands are uninhabited and great for sunbathing and picnicking. Snorkeling is a popular activity at Playas Cacique, Galeon and Canoa. Contadora's reefs boast a nice array of stony corals, and in that regard the reefs most closely resemble the related corals of distant South Pacific islands.
