阿马多堤道

Amador is not far from Panama city and it's a cruise port. There are a lot of restaurants and bars ,some quite good although not cheap ( cruise port!! ),souvenir shops and a very good duty free shop.You can also see by the sea ,on the rocks lots of iguanas !

I think there was construction work going on when I visited as there were what appeared to be temporary walls obstructing the view. At the end of the causeway is what can best be described as a tourist trap; however, the view along the causeway must be spectacular when there is no construction in progress.

Lived in the Canal Zone 44 years ago and was amazed at the changes all over. Ate at Alberto's and Balboa Yacht Club with good meals and great ship watching.

We rented bikes and rode out to Flamenko. The ride is very scenic, and lots of places for sunset cocktails!

We ventured out to the Amador Causeway on our first evening in PC. It was a Saturday night, lively with locals and their families, which made the visit worthwhile. The only disappointing thing was this shiny white wall, on both sides, which was quite ugly. Other than that, we highly recommed it, especially when the locals are out on the weekends.

With a few hours to kill and a nice sunny day took a trip to Amador causeway after visiting Ancon Hill.A lot of things have changed the past two or three years. New museum, looks like widening of roads, new restaurants and change to view ships moored awaiting transit of canal.

When we got there by taxi we realized that we would be able to see nothing because of the great wall built in the direction to the city. What a pity!

The road was undergoing repairs so the view was blocked. The ride were this was not the case was beautiful. We got to see the sunset on the side facing the entrance to the canal. Once they finish the road repairs you will be able to view both the canal and the city.

This is a great place for walking, jogging, biking, casual And fine dining. Beautiful view of the water and city skyline. There is also duty free shopping and souvenir shops! Must visit when in Panama!

Be advised that Perico island is private and not accessible, and anything you do on Naos is going to cost you. Other than marking some shore birds off your birding list, I don't see any reason to go. Perhaps the Museo de la Biodiversidad at the entrance, but it's so expensive we didn't go in.

The views are so constricted right now. A lot of construction right now because they are adding lanes to the causeway with the rubble from the Canal expansion. The Marina was neat. It will be better once the construction is done and the barriers ( as high as 8') are gone.

Causeways has always been one great place to visit while in Panama, but the construction of a new lane for cars is taking away the awe of its view. The people still go a lot to use the parks, the walking lines and the restaurants. Basically, the only thing is lost is the amazing views.

The Causeway is geared towards the tourist's. But on the weekends and evenings the locals come out and enjoy their walk and riding three wheel bikes. They are widening the road and to keep the dust down they put up a wall. Unfortunately, this wall blocks the view of the City side of the Bay of Panama.

As we visited today it was hard to tell if this was a ghost town of the past or something being built new but either way there was hardly any people around. One of the nice things about the causeway were the views of the boats in the marina and the boats lining up to enter the canal. I'm really surprised that the hotels seemed to be empty as well as the restaurants. It almost seemed like many had given up and closed up shop. If someone were to invest in these properties it would it be an amazing place to come a short jaunt from the city. It cost us $10 to get here on a cab from downtown Panama City. It was worth the visit to see the views but I can't say I would want to stay in a hotel over there with the infrastructure the way it is. Also during the whole visit one side of the road had a big steel wall about 12 feet tall lining the beach so that if you were walking on the sidewalk you could not even see the beach. I'm not sure why they have this and I couldn't get a straight answer from our taxi driver but it seems to ruin much of the view that's possible. Maybe it's temporary and maybe it's not but taking it down sure would make the place look a little prettier.

If you have nothing to do and have a set of wheels - then go. There are restaurants down there, and a duty free shop.
