The Causeway is a beautiful place. It is a long street surrounded by the Pacific on both sides. It was designed as a breakwater to protect the entrance to the canal. At the end there are 3 lush islands: Flamingo, Perico and Naos. At the end there is also a beautiful marina with lots of great restaurants that offer great... More

Unfortunately we didn't find much to do at the causeway--maybe we didn't go to the right area. There were bikes to rent and it was nice to walk around, but overall, not a highlight of our trip. Nice for an afternoon visit for an hour, but don't plan your day around it.

This is one of my favorite areas of Panama City. It's very clean, long wide sidewalks and incredible scenery. The yachts are just incredible. There are several restaurants at the end that you can eat at. (sorry their names fail me right now). It is an absolute vision, looking across the water at all of the beautiful buildings of Panama...

There are quite a few very good restaurants to chose from. There are also numerous fishing boats for hire, if you care to deep sea fish.

The causeway is a nice place to jog and go for a bike ride. The views from to Causeway looking towards downtown is lovely.

There's a few restaurants and a duty free shop but the main reason to go there is for the views back across the water to the city. Outstanding!

Go for the lunch buffet (a little expensive by local standards, reserve a terrace seat in advance). Decent museum and movie, the main event is watching the ships go through the locks. Cabs to and from are not a problem, as always negotiate in advance and watch for bootleg cabs.

There were plenty of people who recommended this to us, including our books and tripadvisor itself. Perhaps we just didn't get it, but we walked from the marina all the way to the start of the causeway and found it to be pretty boring. The views weren't all that spectacular either. The views from the top of the hill in... More
