Isla Bayoneta

Isla Bayoneta is an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean within the Pearl Islands group. It features sandy shores and shallow coastal areas surrounded by clear water where fish and other marine animals thrive.

Spanish explorers recorded this island during their 16th-century expeditions through the Pearl Islands group. The island appeared on early maritime maps and in navigation routes for European vessels sailing through Panama Bay.

The Pearl Islands, including Isla Bayoneta, hold numerous pre-Columbian artifacts indicating the presence of indigenous communities before European arrival.

Getting there requires a boat trip from Panama City, and your captain should know the route well. The island has no buildings, shops, or lodging, so you must bring everything you need.

No humans have ever lived permanently on the island, making it a place where researchers can observe undisturbed coastal ecosystems. This isolation means the island preserves a state similar to before human settlement arrived.
