Red Frog Beach is one of the most beautiful locations in the world. That's why we live here. That's also a great reason for you to come visit. Other good reasons include pristine beaches, world class surf, the boobies and woodpeckers (it's not what you think... or maybe it is) and astounding marine life.

When the swells arrive, Bocas Del Toro has some of the best waves and variety of breaks in the Caribbean. At Red Frog Bungalows, co-owners Scott Balogh and Scott Beck have surfed all over the world including Australia, Tahiti, Indonesia, Mexico, California, and Hawaii. We have pioneered many spots in the Bocas Del Toro area. Nobody has the experience we have in Bocas.




There are over 10 good waves within 20 minutes from the resort. Some of these are world-class. We explore these waves from the comfort of our facility, traveling to all locations via boat. Our fast 26-foot boats will drop you right by the take-off point, and if requested, anchor in the channel to serve as a rest stop. Cold beverages, towels and shade are never more than a short paddle away.




The surf in Bocas Del Toro challenges beginners and professional alike. For the past 3 years Red Frog Bungalows has catered to the best professional surfers in the sport. Matt Archbold, Dan Malloy, Russell Smith, Billy Hume, Brett Simpson, Ben Mcbrie, Nick Jiampa, and Sam Hammer are to name a few. We scored some of the largest and heaviest waves ridden in the Caribbean and were featured in June 07 of Surfer Magazine called Panamania. We also were in an article in March of 2008 in surferthemag.com. We are the best in the business in Bocas Del Toro

The season starts early December and begins to fall off in early April. The peak of summer can also produce a mini season during the months of June and July. There are some epic days during these months and the waves are usually cleaner due to more favorable weather conditions. While there can be some big days during these months, the summer season does not compare with the winter in terms of duration or consistency.




We do not like crowds so if you have the ability we will take you to rarely surfed breaks all over Bocas. We are the only ones to surf the world famous Silverbacks and are not scared of surfing the biggest waves that Bocas can produce. Come surf with the best and forget the rest. We have it covered.

The Bungalows and Gardens

Red Frog Bungalows are brand new. They were constructed in Bali Indonesia and sent to Panama. We then imported them to Isla Bastimentos and reconstructed the bungalows on Red Frog Beach. Scott Beck and Scott Balogh have been hard at work making sure they are comfortable and ready for you enjoy.




The setting is a lush tropical garden only steps away from the beach. The gardens are landscaped with tropical flowers from throughout Panama. We planted everything on the property to create a very private atmoshere without the use of walls. Our tropical gardens are the walls.

Our Tropical Gardens are 4 years old now and many exotic haliconia, plumeria, gardenia, palms, and hibiscus are starting to produce large amounts of flowers. Not only do they smell good but the nectar produced in the flowers attracts large amounts of Butterflies and Hummingbirds. One of our regulars to the garden is The Blue Morpho. This butterfly is one of the most exotic in the world.




The hummingbirds are also very abundant. Panama has the most varieties of hummingbirds in the world. At Red Frog Bungalows you will see many of the species just sitting on our patios. Parrots, yellow-tails, seahawks, woodpeckers, and pelicans are a few of the other hundreds that have been identified in the area.
