Information from Panama Posse:
Isla Taborcillo / John Wayne Island is close to Punta Chame, Panama. It is a great, calm anchorage with some island exploration to be done. There is an abandoned hotel & Western town theme park on the island which is worth a visit.
Also very good kitesurfing and wingsurfing with flat water, especially at (spring) low tides south-easterly of the island when the sandbars come out.
Approach from the south is safe at high tide, navionics charts are quite accurate.
Approach from north was also easy with coming tide.
Supplies and restaurants are available in Punta Chame village, recommendations are: a new cafe “Happy Corner” right on the beach by some German expats and the Beachclub SOLE at Panama Kite Center with great food and vibes. Happy Corner also organizes tours and hikes.
