I think that is Las Sirenas, a well recommended, small hotel which we tried to stay at, but they were full. (www.lasirenas.com/) Note the egrets in the foreground. There is a fresh-water stream/river coming in from the left.

There was a large flock of what I took to be immature gulls which hung out at the beach. There was a small fresh water stream flowing into the ocean nearby.

Miss Ria holds an interestingly colored shell we found on the beach. It was closed when we picked it up.

Learned that this is the longest beach in Panama -- 22 km which is over 13.5 miles!
