Stretching over 200m of white sandy swimmable shoreline, is Coco Bay – the social soul of Selva Terra, where adventures begin and stories end. From sunrise paddle sessions and rainforest hikes to sunset bonfires and cocktails at the Pavilion, Coco Bay is where guests naturally gather before setting off to explore—or returning to share the day’s discoveries.
Six Beaches, Yours to Discover
Discover hidden coves and secluded beaches along Isla Boca Brava, where moments of true solitude are still possible. Set within 200 acres of pristine tropical rainforest, Selva Terra is home to six secluded beaches, with two of them on the resort just a short walking distance away from the casitas.
Beyond the resort, the island’s untouched coastline invites exploration—paddleboard through calm waters or follow our nature trails that uncover hidden coves, surf Pacific waves, or wander endless stretches of sand where the only footsteps are your own.
Coco Bay
The Gathering place
Clay Sands
The Explorer's Beach
Located within the resort and just a short walk from your casita, Clay Sands invites long barefoot walks, shell collecting, and afternoons discovering tidal pools. Hidden within its shoreline are natural deposits of wild clay, sustainably foraged and transformed during our pottery workshops—a chance to create something with materials gathered directly from the island. It’s a beach where every walk reveals another small discovery.
Estuario Secreto
Nature's Playground
Spanning more than 300 metres of secluded coastline, this is Selva Terra’s largest beach, accessible by kayak, paddleboard, or via the island’s rainforest trails. Here, where mangroves, tide pools, and the river meet the sea, the landscape transforms with the tides, revealing an ever-changing landscape to explore.
Layla Bay
The calm waters
Protected from the Pacific swell, Layla Bay is all about gentle water and peaceful moments. Swim, paddleboard, float beneath the tropical sky, or simply enjoy the quiet of a bay that feels worlds away from everything else.
Sand Dollar
The Surfer's Paradise
For those chasing the next wave. Just a short boat ride from Selva Terra, Sand Dollar offers a gentle point break ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers. Between April and August, the Pacific delivers consistent swells that make this one of the Gulf of Chiriquí’s hidden surf spots.
Coquito Bay & Cala Secreto
The hideaway coves
There are moments when it feels as though the island belongs only to you. Coquito Bay and Cala Secreto are those places. Hidden beyond the tides and reached by kayak or on foot at low tide, these secluded coves are the island’s best places to watch the sunrise in complete solitude.
