The Bahia de Escribano in the San Blas Islands of Panama (the Kuna Yala archipelago) is located some ten miles west of El Pouvenir. This tranquil bay was once visited in historic times by the pirates such as Henry Morgan and Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish explorer Rodrigo de Bastidas is calmed by an barrier reef offshore called the Baha Escribano.
This white-sanded bay with its clear sparkling blue waters and coral offers supreme diving opportunities of many types of corals, sea sponges, barracudas, manta rays, groupers, moray eels and nurse sharks (not dangerous to man) and other fish of all prismatic colors. The Bahia de Escribano is a diver’s underwater paradise.
Yachters are drawn to the crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches of white sand.
The only way to get to the Bahia de Escribano is by boat or airplane from El Pouvenir The sole hotel on the island is the Coral Lodge Resort where you can sign up for kayaking and diving.
