Every day of our trip in Panama and Costa Rica included a visit to a beautiful beach. The photos above show a selection of beaches, including the one with optional horseback riding, which we didn't do.
A tiny island called Granito de Oro in Coiba Island National Park was one of the most impressive. It's so tiny that it's dreamlike.

| This was our first look at Granito de Oro, which means little gold nugget. You can see the wide sand beach in front of the rocky tip. |

| On Granito de Oro. We snorkeled around the small rocky point beyond the sand. Underwater pictures I took while snorkeling are here. |

| To get from the Sea Bird to the beaches: a zodiac boat (also called a DIB). Life jackets mandatory! This shows how we got from the Sea Bird into the zodiac -- with help from a crew member. At the beach, one steps off the boat into the waves. I always got off the boat barefooted. |

What a wonderful cruise! My husband keeps talking about taking a cruise to the Panama Canal but somehow we don’t – last year we took a cruise from New Orleans, and the year before to the Black Sea and Ukraine. Your pictures are lovely and show how much fun this must have been.
