Isla Carenero is Bocas del Toro’s smallest main island – just under 1 square kilometer – but it has the most to offer for tourists compared to its size. There are beautiful beaches and world-class waves, lively coral reefs, lush rainforest, palm trees, turquoise waters, and awesome places to both stay and eat.
Plus, everything on the island is accessible by a short walk or $1-$2 water taxi ride to Bocas town. If you’re looking to experience an authentic Caribbean island and jump right in on Bocas del Toro’s culture, then Isla Carenero is the perfect fit!
Casa del Fuego is located on its own private beach, but nearby to all the action of food, drink, surf and water activities. You can kayak, paddle board, snorkel and swim right off of the front dock. The Caranero walking path cuts through the back yard, giving the best access to the surf, hikes, explorative walks and runs, perfect for the active traveller.
The waves on Caranero range from a gorgeous, barreling, left point break, to a mellow, very beginner friendly break that is perfect for starting your surfing career. This island truly has the best variety of surf for all levels of your group. You can choose to walk from the house to the surf, or take a short boat ride right from our dock and jump out right into the line up.
The party exists on Carenero, but is just far enough away to not be bothered by the loud music of the parties in Bocas town and on Carenero. Easy access to participate if you would like, and great location to keep your peace if you would prefer that.
