Paunch

As with other beaches in the area, the waves tend to break in shallow water, and surfers should be wary of sharp coral along parts of the beach. The inside reef, just north of Bocas town, is a fun spot at one to two meters, with good clean faces. The outer reef is a bit more serious at three to four meters on good swells. There are three lefts and a right that have fairly long rides. On bigger swells, two of the lefts connect for a nice long, consistent barrel. Beginner to advanced surfers, depending on swell size and conditions.

Playa Paunch is a short bike or taxi ride north of Bocas town.
