Isla Farallón, Pacific island destination in Coclé Province, Panama.

Isla Farallón is a rocky island in the Pacific Ocean that rises with steep cliffs and natural caves carved into its stone. The island has multiple vantage points where visitors can look out over the water and watch for marine life.

Cartography documents of the Granadine Confederation from 1862 already record this island, so it predates later accounts. Area residents say Manuel Noriega used it to store treasures and, during Ronald Reagan's presidency, bombs for the U.S. government; they also say he bombed the land bridge joining it to the mainland to isolate it.

Residents of the mainland opposite the island say Manuel Noriega kept his treasures there and stored bombs for the United States government in the caves during Ronald Reagan's presidency. They also say he bombed the strip of land that once joined the rock to the continent to cut off overland access.

Visitors reach the island by taking small boats from Farallón Beach, with the journey taking about 15 minutes across open water. Conditions can change throughout the day depending on weather, so checking with local operators about current conditions helps plan the visit.
