Yes, the stretch between Panama and Okanda is pure wilderness. There are several unnamed right-hand points. However, you are surfing inside a national park buffer zone. There are crocodiles in the lagoons and wild elephants on the dirt tracks. You must have a 4x4, go with a group, and realize there is zero medical help nearby if you hit the reef.

Never swim in the still lagoon water behind those breaks. Only swim in the crashing ocean.

We surfed near Kumana and had to wait for a herd of elephants to leave the beach before we could paddle out. Wild experience.
