Things to see and do Portobelo

To reach the beaches on the other side of the bay, motor boats leave from a pontoon next to the customs office, or from another one near Fort Santiago, at the entrance of the village. It is possible to pitch a tent on the beaches. It is a pity that they are not always very clean. Playa Huerta or "playa primera" is the closest. Its calm waters make it a good spot for swimming and snorkeling. A little further away, the same delights at Playa Francés. Playa Blanca, a beautiful white sand beach, is much further away than the previous ones.
