About Pedasí

As prime beachfront land in Panama grows ever scarcer, investors and developers have been looking for this sleepy stretch of coastline on Panama´s Central Pacific for the next wave of development, and discovering the very heart of Panama in Azuero real estate.

Because Panama allows titled property right up to the waterfront, beachfront parcels are being snapped up at a dizzying rate like Pedasi land and Playa Venao property which is at the very tip of the peninsula. Despite its long, sinuous shape, Panama´s coast offers relatively few truly golden beaches.

Much of the Pacific coast is fringed with mangrove swamps where clouds of mosquitos billow up to prey on the unwary. On the Caribbean side there is also a think tangle of mangroves and much of the coast is battered with constant rains or under the territory of Panama´s aboriginal tribes which is not open to outside development. While there are several excellent beaches close to Panama City, most of theses are well-developed or well on their way. The first two hours´ drive west on the

Panamerican Highway are littered with signs for beachfront resorts, villas, and condos, offering dreams of oceanview lifestyles, but many of theses have taken on an almost suburban feel, as the developed stretches now begin to crowd and bleed into one another.

At the bottom of the Azuero Peninsula, however, one feels almost at the end of the world. There is a timesless quality to daily life there, a blend of the ultra-modern with the centuries-old traditional ways. Typical of Azuero real estate is impeccably paved highways slinking through endless green fields and tiny clustered towns. Colorful and tranquil towns tend to hug the highway, and very few have sprung up along the many beaches here. The waterfront is largely deserted except for the fishing boats that moor in shallow waters bringing their catches ashore.
