Chichime
Perfect turquoise warm water, great beaches and a bit of forestry to explore, Chichime is considered one of the best islands in San Blas. It takes around 15 minutes to walk around, making it one of the larger islands you can visit. Plenty of coconut trees for shade or a fresh drink of coco water. There is a bar and restaurant on the island and it can be busy during the day with passengers from sailboats but there is plenty of space to play football, volleyball or just relax and have a cold beer while looking out at the boats.
