Zapatillas Cays is a group of two uninhabited islands, surrounded by a coral reef, located east of Bastimentos Island, in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, in the province bearing the same name. North Zapatilla Cay is 14 hectares, while to the south, the other Zapatilla Cay is comparatively larger, with 34 hectares. Both islands are within the boundaries of the Bastimentos Island Marine National Park, north of Cayo Agua and Isla Popa.
On the islands, within the Bastimentos Marine Park, you can practice fishing and diving in its spectacular coral reefs, and its crystalline waters. These mangrove islands with fine white sand, palm and coconut trees around each cay, and reefs full of marine life, are a paradise of biodiversity. From March to September, on the west side of the island you can observe the migration of turtles that come to lay their eggs on these beaches. The local legend is that the islands were formed when God stepped on earth, and that is why the islands have the shape of his shoes.
