Located on Panama’s Azuero Peninsula, Pedasi is considered out of the way by locals because it’s a five-hour drive from the capital. Alternatively, there are 50-minute flights to Pedasi from Panama City. Still, with so many beach resorts closer to the capital, Pedasi is often overlooked. But for those who prefer a less generic, more local experience, Pedasi is the perfect option. The Azuero peninsula is known as Panama’s heartlandthe cradle of folklore and traditions datin...g back hundreds of years. It is in this region you’ll find the best carnival celebrations and the prettiest polleras (Panama’s national dress). The people are notoriously friendly and attractiveand they know all the typical dances. Pedasi and its surrounding beaches are known collectively as the tuna coast. Here, the coastal shelf drops off suddenly to provide deep water fishing a short distance from shore. Yellow fin tuna, sailfish, wahoo and dorado are among the regular catches. Clams, conch, lobster, and oysters are available daily from the men who caught them. Fishing tournaments are held here oftenas are surf competitions. (Of course, you don’t need to do anything on Pedasi’s beaches. They’re also pretty good for relaxing on) Pedasi is home to a handful of shops, cafes, small groceries and hotels. A small hospital is also under construction just outside of town. About 30-45 minutes by car from Pedasi, larger towns like Las Tablas and Chitre can supply nearly anything one might need, including imported supermarket items if you have a hankering for, say, a bowl of Wheaties. And so yes, Pedasi is a tiny fishing villagebut not as sleepy as one might think. Mind, outside of carnival season, it gets quiet around 9 p.m., with a few restaurants open till later. (Smiley’s is a great place to have a few drinks and meet expats). The small but friendly expat community is an eclectic mix of North Americans, Europeans and more. People from all over the globe who relish Pedasi’s clean, quiet atmosphereand the uncomplicated lifestyle that entails. Plus, the Azuero region is the least expensive in the country. In local surveys, food and property prices always rank lower here than anywhere else in Panama. A couple could live here on $1,200 a month plus rent with no trouble at all. See more
