Discover Gorgona Panama Real Estate

Many people prefer life in Gorgona Panama as an alternative to the much more “americanized” Coronado. While this means fewer amenities in the way of dining and shopping, most residents find that they can easily get by with what Gorgona has to offer and only occasionally need to supplement their routine with trips to Coronado.

The grocery shopping scene in Gorgona is dominated by a handful of small mini-marts. While many of these stores are geared mostly towards providing snacks and drinks to day-tripping beach-goers, they have enough in the way of pantry staples to save you a trip to a larger store.

When it comes time to do a bigger shopping trip, the Rey grocery store in Coronado is less than a ten minute drive away. Here you’ll find a complete shopping experience including plenty of local and international brands of packaged foods and drinks. For other shopping needs, there are a handful of shops at the entrance to Nueva Gorgona along the Pan-American Highway. 

It goes without saying that while Gorgona  Panama doesn’t offer the robust array of shopping and dining options that nearby Coronado does, residents prefer it this way. The lack of larger shopping centers and fast-food chains keep Gorgona feeling uniquely Panamanian which is exactly why many people choose to relocate here in the first place.
