This is a great place to dine, drink, snorkel, sunbathe, read and more.

This is the most popular snorkeling site in the archipelago and a great place to chill out. One could do much worse than spend an afternoon here ogling fish and admiring coral, chowing seafood and sipping rum & Cokes.

Many memories ride on this catamaran. Remember to bring sunscreen.

The catamaran in question is the roomy 42-foot Movida (Spanish for Movement) made by Fountaine Pajots, the world’s No. 1 builder of cruising catamarans. She has crossed the Atlantic three times, attesting to her seaworthiness, and she's a veritable pleasure craft in Bocas as she glides from one bewitching snorkeling site to another.

You have arrived ... at the dock on Cayo Zapatilla #2.

You’d think with all the wampum the many “Survivor” TV shows rake in, their producers would scour the Earth for perfectly hellish islands on which to shoot episodes. By that we mean a snake-dripping, jaguar-prowling, curse-plagued, leech-crawling, skeleton-riddled, fire-spewing and sea-ringed volcano which, when viewed from space, resembles not so much a land mass as it does a ghastly canker sore. But nooooo!
