Coco Solo is a coastal neighborhood that once housed a major U.S. Navy submarine base, active from the 1910s through the 1990s. Today, it's a tranquil residential area with remnants of its military history, including old barracks and piers. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront, where the Caribbean Sea meets the canal, and see the former base's infrastructure. It's a quiet spot for history buffs and those seeking a less touristy glimpse of Colón's past.
Don't miss
- Walk the historic pier where submarines once docked.
- See the abandoned officers' quarters and base buildings.
- Enjoy sunset views over Manzanillo Bay.
