Can You Buy Alcohol on the San Blas Islands?

Yes, alcohol is available for purchase on many of the San Blas Islands. You’ll typically find beer and a few local alcoholic beverages sold at small, simple stalls or rustic beach bars. However, keep in mind that the selection is limited and prices are usually higher due to the cost of transporting goods to the islands.

If you have specific drink preferences or want to save money, you're welcome to bring your own alcohol from Panama City. Just make sure it's packed securely for the journey.
