Torio’s waters are rich in marine biodiversity. Common species include red and cubera snapper near rocky areas, grouper in reef structures, corvina from shore, Spanish mackerel and jack crevalle in coastal trolling, tuna and wahoo offshore, and sailfish or marlin during the warm-water season (June–October).
Fishing is good year-round. The dry season (Dec–Apr) offers calm seas and clear skies, while the rainy season (May–Nov) often boosts fish activity. The best times of day are early morning or late afternoon, during tide changes.
Options include surfcasting from beaches like Morrillo, kayak fishing near rocky areas, bottom fishing for grouper and snapper, coastal or offshore trolling for predatory fish, and spinning with lures for jacks or barracuda.
Morrillo Beach (surfcasting, corvina), Río Quebro mouth (snapper, jack), Punta Torio (grouper), Isla Cébaco (offshore trolling), Coiba National Park (marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna), Puerto Mutis, and Palo Seco.
