COASTAL STRIP
What is the Coastal Strip in Panama?
The Coastal Strip is the new seaside toll-free transit project, with 4 lanes for cars extending from Balboa Avenue by the Seafood Market to Punta Paitilla by the Multímetro Shopping Mall.
There are over 8 soccer courts and playgrounds, 5 gazebos and 1 bike lane for recreational activities. The area is adorned with fountains and ponds, landscaped with tropical trees and plants, and graced by a statue of the discoverer of the South Sea, Vasco Nuñez de Balboa
