Punta Chame, Coastal settlement in Panama Oeste Province, Panama.
Located 70 kilometers west of Panama City, Punta Chame extends as a narrow peninsula with 35 kilometers of grey-sand beaches along the Pacific Ocean.
The peninsula's development was limited by salty conditions that prevented agriculture, leading to a focus on fishing and aquaculture through shrimp farming operations.
Local families maintain traditional fishing practices across generations, operating fish farms and fisheries that supply fresh seafood to nearby communities.
Essential services including banks, medical clinics, and grocery stores are available within a 30-minute drive in the nearby town of Chame.
The location receives consistent wind patterns from November through April, establishing it as a primary destination for windsurfing activities in Panama.

Panama features a variety of photographic settings, from the colonial district of Casco Viejo to the fine sandy beaches of the San Blas Islands.
