The Amador Causeway has a spectacular view of Panama City.  It is an upcoming entertainment nightlife spot. The Amador Causeway is located at the southern entrance of the Panama Canal.  The causeway consists of a roadway and walking pathway stretching from the mainland which connects to four small islands:  Naos, Culebra, Perico, and Flamenco.  This pathway was built with the rock removed from the construction of the Canal, exactly 18 millions yards of solid rock extracted from the Snake Cut.

Historically, Amador causeway was a preferred point of the Spanish galleons to cast anchor when they came to the city with their coffers full with Inca gold.

Today, the Amador causeway is an ideal place for those who want to enjoy the view of the entrance of the Canal, the city skyline, Balboa Yacht Club; or if they just want to sit and relax watching the ships while they cruse the waters of Panama Bay and pass under the Bridge of the Americas.

During the day you can enjoy outdoor activities like walking, jogging, and biking.  You can rent a single bike or a family bike or even skates.  There is also a small shopping center at the end of the causeway where you can get some souvenirs.  The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is located at Naos Island and is the largest of STRI’s marine laboratories in the world.  It provides the opportunity for comparative studies between the Tropical Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans. 

The Amador Causeway has many restaurants which mostly has a beach view. Seafood is the main dish in these restaurants, but you can also enjoy great Italian and American food or a simple hamburger.  Alberto’s is a nice Italian restaurant where you can sit and enjoy the view of the Yacht Club.  Friday’s is just around if what you wish for is some ribs and fries.

Small night life spots can be found one right next to the other.  For those with more grown up taste Cafe Barko is ideal to enjoy the sea breeze and sushi.  Play is a very trendy nightspot featuring a lounge decor.  The Wine Bar is especially for the wine lovers and connoisseurs, house music will keep the atmosphere enjoyable.  Pencas Restaurant serves very good food. If what you are looking for is a more informal place, La Marina is the best for you.  It has pool tables, live music, food and a patio area.
