The Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park (in Spanish, Parque Nacional Marino Isla Bastimentos) was established in the late eighties as Panama's first national marine park. The park protects one hundred thirty islands of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, including caiman, monkeys, sloths, crocodile, and twenty-eight species of amphibians and reptiles. In particular, the Cayos Zapatillas (in English, Shoe Cays) are well worth seeing -- they resemble a pair of shoes and are two island refuges for birds, mammals, reptiles, and coral reefs. They are also popular with turtles that use the area as nesting place. If you look for a beautiful and quiet remote beach, check out Wizard Beach -- you can get there by a footpath through the wilderness from Old Bank in dry weather.
