Adventure Awaits at the Rugged Playa Morrillo in Veraguas
Playa Morrillo is a striking tourist attraction located in the remote area of Veraguas, known for its powerful surf and natural beauty. Visitors praise its raw and untamed charm, but also note the strong currents that make it unsuitable for inexperienced swimmers or small children. Access requires a 4×4 vehicle due to rough roads and occasional flooding, adding to the adventurous spirit of the visit. The beach’s lack of infrastructure underscores the importance of self-sufficiency—bringing your own food and respecting the environment by taking out all trash. For those seeking a true off-the-beaten-path surf spot with breathtaking views, Playa Morrillo offers a memorable experience that captures the wild essence of Panama’s coastline.

3 years agoBeautiful beach, with strong currents. Would not advice going with small children or people who are not capable of swimming, as the waves can get quite big. You will need a 4x4 to get there as well, as the road is in poor shape. Bring your own food and snacks (and take out your garbage as well please), as there are no providers in the area.

2 years agoGreat beach, but there’s not infrastructure like bathrooms. The access road it’s beyond bad and it can get flooded when the river (you have to cross) can’t flow into the ocean due to natural build up of a sandbar. We stayed at an Eco hotel… but we had problems with the road like everyone else.

5 years agoLovely surf place, not fit for swimming though, as the waves are strong almost all the time.

10 months agoThis is the turn off from the highway. In the rainy season, need 4x4. In the dry season mud road is ok to get to the beach.
