Balboa Travel Guide

Panama

Balboa is a small settlement in Panama, with a population of 807. Its compact size makes it a quieter base than a large urban centre.

Travellers arriving by air use Panama Pacifico Airport (BLB), which serves Balboa. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so Balboa is not a beach-focused destination.
