Kraal Kay in Bocas del Toro Panama
Kraal Cay (Crawl Cay) - Best place to take pictures in Bocas del
Toro. Its natural beauty is nearly untouched, bright, serene, memorable
indeed. There are many thatch roofed gazebo's connected by wooden piers
running out over the flat, clear waters. Many day tours stop off for lunch
at Kraal Cay. Most people order their meal, then snorkel, swim or explore
and come back around 1 PM to eat. Menu items include fresh lobster, turtle,
chicken, fish, conch, shrimp, rice and potatoes. Crawl Cay is about 20
minutes by boat from Bocas town, on the southeastern side of the main
Bastimentos Island.
The mangroves that surround the islands house many tropical fish species.
In front of the restaurants you can snorkel and see angelfish, sea cucumbers,
hard coral, and lots of colorful fish. These restaurants have underwater
pens where they keep live catches so you can actually see up close, the
next menu item.
Kraal Cay is a great spot to spend the entire day at if you have the
time. Lots of shade, cool breezes, unhurried atmosphere, with the outdoor
eateries and view make this a truly memorable experience. Bring your appetite,
camera and snorkel and enjoy a day like none other. If you come to Bocas
del Toro and don't visit Kraal Cay, you've made a mistake.
