Relaxing living for water-loving upstate Newyorkers
When Mike and Susan decided to make the move to Panama after several years of visiting the country, they knew exactly which area they wanted to call home.
Mike speaks to us from his new two-bedroom home in Hermosa Bay, Boca Chica, with views stretching out towards the ocean and swaying palms.
“We toured many areas of Panama that we had heard about or that looked interesting to us,” Mike explains, “but in the end, we kept coming back to the Boca Chica area because we felt it had everything we wanted.”
Mike and Susan got to know a huge swath of the country before making their choice, initially falling in love with Panama, while exploring freestyle.
“Boca Chica came out top”
“Boca Chica came out on top,” they explain. Bocas del Toro wasn’t accessible enough for them, and Boquete, in the highlands just 90 minutes from oceanfront Boca Chica, didn’t appeal to them because of the “congestion” and cooler off-season temperatures and higher rainfall. Boca Chica was drier and offered more consistently warm temperatures. It was also nothing like the “built-up” beach strips nearer Panama City.
What’s more, Mike and Susan are true water lovers, having run a marina together in upstate New York on the Hudson River. Here in Boca Chica and the Gulf of Chiriquí, the couple, who recently made the decision to retire here, say, “The beauty of the outlying Pacific islands off Boca Chica captivates us.” They enjoy the variety of coves and diversity of mooring spaces.
Lifestyle destination
Mike speaks fondly of retirement and what it has brought him. “I am enjoying not having to chase my way through the day,” he smiles.
Now settled in Hermosa Bay, Mike and Susan are thrilled with their new lifestyle. Speaking of the community they now form part of Mike says, “I am a big fan of supporting this place,” and is excited to see this neighborhood, centered around nature and the ocean, develop into a lifestyle destination.
At Hermosa Bay, quality private roads lead through spacious, tropical landscapes. The mature trees and verdant vegetation blend with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Residents enjoy direct private access to Playa Hermosa beach, by far the best in this breathtaking area of natural beauty.

Relax or be active; the choice is yours, with the birdsong as your daily soundtrack and the ocean breezes to sooth your mind.
