Number of little ranchitos on the beach where you can eat, water is polluted so swimming is NOT RECOMMENDED. I'm limited on fotos but one I have a couple at the new ranchito which is a nice facility with good food, prices & service. The pueblo of Vera Cruz west of the beaches is to be avoided, especially at night!

this is a beach for the local people with little specials to see. No particular reason to visit as tourist. Panama definitely has other places to see.
