The properties along this coast were once weekend homes and fruit farms for the people of Almirante, Changuinola and David who would come down to the coast to fish when they had time off. Many sat abandoned as economic tides shifted, and younger generations left to the big cities. We are seeing a revival in this rural area, mostly from expats who are attracted to an autonomous way of life. Along this coast alone there are 3 old farms currently being renovated.
