Caribaro Bay

Caribaró, later called Almirante Bay, lies among the islands of Bocas del Toro on Panama’s Caribbean coast. Colón Island and smaller islands form much of its seaward margin, sheltering the bay from the open sea. Columbus entered Caribaró during his fourth voyage in 1502 before continuing towards the neighbouring Chiriquí Lagoon. Mangrove cays, reefs and channels distinguish this coastal archipelago.
