Playa Blanca Attractions Include the Pipa Beach Bar and Restaurant

When staying at the Playa Blanca Resort, Residence, and Hotel take a run down the beach to Pipa’s Beach Bar and Restaurant. This interesting restaurant is away from the resort scene, has good food, great atmosphere, and is a great adjunct to a beach outing.

When eating at Pipa’s and, for that matter, anywhere along Playa Blanca remember that you are on the Pacific Coast of Panama. Forget the steak! Forget the pork chops! Check out the seafood!

Pipa’s Beach Bar and Restaurant has fish (pescado), clams (almejas), prawns (langostino), lobster (longosto), shrimp (calamari), and occasionally octopus (pulpo). The sauces at Pipa’s are well prepared. On the other hand, if you just want your seafood with one or many slices of lemon, Pipa’s will oblige, just order a la plancha con limones. Drinks are pretty standard, Balboa, Atlas, Panama, Soberana, and the occasional Heineken, although there are cocktails too.

Wear your chanclas (sandals) to Pipa’s Beach Bar and Restaurant, as you will eat on the beach. In fact, wear your swim trunks. Take a change of clothes, lots of sun screen, and enjoy the stretch of Playa Blanca by Pipa’s before you sit down for a great meal with a full view of the Pacific Ocean.

You can rent beach chairs from Pipa’s Beach Bar and Restaurant. Take a dip in the surf. Sit in the shade of a beach umbrella reading you favorite author’s latest novel and let the cares of the world pass you by. Finish up with lobster in garlic sauce and an Atlas and experience paradise on Playa Blanca.

Things to Do at Playa Blanca

The Playa Blanca Resort, Residence, and Hotel Five Phase Project is moving along according to plan.

The first phase, the duplex homes, Penon Condominiums, Puerto Banus Villas and the Playa Blanca Hotel are all up and running. The next phase is under construction and this includes the lagoon, which is meant to be the world’s second largest swimming pool. Also included in this phase are the Founders Condos, Terrazas Tower, Villas, New Villas, Town Center, Town Center Suites, and Ocean Units One and Two.

So, this mega project is moving along quite well.

What can I do for fun now at Playa Blanca Resort, Residence, and Hotel? Come to the Playa Blanca Hotel! For $107 a night enjoy an air-conditioned room, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, or a massage in the spa. If you just want to lounge a bit, watch the multi channel cable TV.

Playa Blanca Hotel is just minutes from the white sandy beach, making it a great walk day or evening. This area is developing into a huge resort complex with enough going on to make any sidewalk superintendent ecstatic.

The food at the restaurants at Playa Blanca Hotel is great and the environment relaxing. This is a great place to get away from the busy scene in Panama City. When you want some activity try the miniature golf.

The beach at Playa Blanca is a great place to walk, especially at low tide. Go out early and watch the pastels of the morning sky before sunrise and watch as the first rays of the sun touch the Pacific. Folks have walked these beaches for five hundred years and seen the same beauty. That is, I suppose, why the sea keeps calling us back.

What is Nearby to Playa Blanca?

The Playa Blanca Resort, Residence, and Hotel project is on Panama’s Pacific Coast, west of Panama City. From this jumping off point there are a number of interesting places to visit and things to do.

The Panama Pacific coast is world famous for sport fishing. Ask the concierge about charters and you may catch a marlin or sailfish. In addition to ocean fishing, some of the charter operators will take you into Panama’s interior to fish for trout in its streams or huge bass in its lakes.

The Panama interior mountains are an eco tourist dream. Rent a car and head up to el Valle. The extinct volcanic caldera is a verdant paradise.

At el Valle you can see some of Panama’s famous and currently endangered golden frogs.

If you come to el Valle on a Sunday, visit the market. There will be handcrafted items for sale at substantially lower prices than at the hotel gift shop. Check out the hand painted wooden bowls or bring home a hammock or basket made in Panama.

Around el Valle are waterfalls. They are most impressive from May to December, which is Panama’s rainy season. Visit El Macho, just five minutes from the center of el Valle.

This beautiful part of Panama has been inhabited long before Columbus, so if you have time, ask about the petroglyphs. This is part of the world that was warm and wonderful during the last ice age!

There are a number of walking tours around el Valle. There are also a number of nice restaurants in town, including the Los Mandarinos and the Orchid Room at the Anton Valley Hotel.

In less than 90 minutes you can travel to a gleaming white tower of elegant living…. that you own! Aptly dubbed Playa Blanco (White Beach), this world class resort reflects the natural elegance of its white sand beaches in every aspect to its gleaming white architecture.

One of Panama’s newest condo-hotel communities, Palay Blanca raised the bar for all competitors. This remarkable property offers owners and their guests one of Central America’s best mixes of beachfront living and affordable pricing.

Playa Blanca is growing rapidly. Phase One of the project has been complete for several years. Now, a second phase is well underway. When completed in 2010, Phase Two of the Playa Blanca expansion will elevate the entire resort to 5 Star standards. Inventory on the property will swell to some 1,600 condos and 160 single family homes. A new convention center will also join the resort’s long list of amenities, and lots of shopping, restaurants, and other attractions will be added as well.

Of particular interest to sun lovers will be the addition of a new global landmark, the second largest swimming pool in the world! This 17 acre wonder will provide crystalline blue 79 degree waters year round. When complete, this stunning feature will place the Playa Blanca on par with any super-lux property on the planet.

At the Playa Blanca Resort, Residence and Hotel try the Velero Restaurant. Velero means sailboat. On the beach, this restaurant has nicely prepared entrees, cooked to order, not from the kitchen three hours ago. Meat is cooked to order and seafood is prepared with tasty sauces.

Playa Blanca Resort is a nice quiet place and the Velero likewise. The atmosphere is relaxed, the beach broad and not busy. This is the sort of place where you can take a long walk and forget the cares of the world. Without a lot of distraction, you look out to sea and you can imagine yourself standing there at the time of the Spanish Conquistadors. You would have seen the same view.

Try some of the Panamanian specialties at Velero. Seafood is a must as you are on the coast and all of it is as fresh as it gets. However, Panama has a five hundred year heritage of Spanish colonial influence. Although Velero and other restaurants in the area cater to tourists from all over the world, they retain the Panamanian influence in their cooking. You can get a good steak, in fact better, when you get back to Toronto, Chicago or Kansas City, but you can’t find prawns as big, juicy, and fresh as these unless you are on the coast of Panama. This area has been called the Tuna Coast because the fishing has always been great in Panama waters. In fact, the word Panama comes from a native word that means, essentially, lots of fish.
