Amador Causeway

The Amador Causeway, jutting out into the Pacific, was constructed from excavated material during the Canal construction. It took 18 million yards of solid rock extracted from the famous Culebra or Gaillard Cut of the Panama Canal to build this Causeway.  It is a beautiful place for walking, and the views are spectacular.  We were disappointed to find that many restaurants and shops were either closed or had gone out of business.  Although we have no plans to transit the canal, we were interested in this area because it is the first place to anchor or stop at a marina on the Pacific side.
