Between the high rises of Avenida Balboa and the ocean lies the Cinta Costera, a vibrant green space stretching alongside the avenue and offering scenic views of the impressive Panama City skyline and waterfront. This 40-hectare park features bike paths, lush areas with tropical plants, recreational parks, tennis and basketball courts, an amphitheater, gazebos, and water fountains. It's a popular spot for meeting up, people-watching, and outdoor activities like cycling, jogging, skateboarding, and rollerblading. On Sundays, the roadway is closed to cars from 6 a.m. to noon, providing cyclists with an uninterrupted ride. The Cinta Costera is also known for hosting lively events like Carnival and Christmas celebrations, and along the way, you'll find food stalls, shopping destinations like Multicentro, and the famous Mercado del Marisco fish market.
