How many miles is the beach?1 answer
Is the water rough and do I need boat shoes? I like taking very long walks

The beach is a mile long and is private. There are shells and rocks on the beach and the tide can be rough. With the tide being rough this will limit your swimming on the beach. You may not be able to go swimming at all depending on the tide conditions.

Hotel Description
InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa offers Relaxation and Fun
Think the perfect, tropical vacation is a private beach surrounded by a lush rainforest flanked by a famous canal with giant ships? Then head to InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa. Located just three miles from the Panama Canal, this beautiful resort offers five free-form pools, including one with a swim-up bar, three restaurants and an ultra-modern, holistic spa.
If you love sunsets on the beach, the resort's private Pacific Ocean beach is the ideal place for watching the flaming colors slowly sink into the sea. Or, order up a cool one at the swim-up bar in the gorgeous freshwater pool and enjoy the refreshment inside and out. And with five different pools, there's a perfect one just waiting for you.
Cool is also the word for the resort's Lighthouse Restaurant, where Panamanian Fusion cuisine, elegant surroundings and an ocean view combine for a memorable dinner experience worth writing home about. For casual meals, the Plantation Restaurant and Pelican Grill offer tasty options with the equally amazing views.
We think you should definitely make time for a session or three at the 10,000-sq-ft Sensory Spa by Clarins, where the luxurious setting and exotic treatments take you to a new level of bliss. Relax in one of the bubbling whirlpools or go for a seaweed wrap to draw out all your bottled-up stress. Then head outdoors for a seaside massage and let professional hands and gentle winds wash away your cares.
InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa is a great base for exploring some of Panama's most interesting sites. The Panama Canal Miraflores Locks are just a few miles away and give you an up-close look at this awe-inspiring man-made structure. For natured-inspired awe, book a trip on the Gamboa Rainforest Ariel Tram and get a birds-eye view of the forest canopy from an observation tower 280 feet high. An interesting exhibit about the unique flora and fauna of the area, plus historic Embera Indian village help you get a better understanding of this beautiful country.
