The shortest distance between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the Americas is approximately 50 miles via the Panama Canal. This canal connects the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic) to the Pacific Ocean, allowing ships to avoid the lengthy and treacherous route around the southern tip of South America. The canal significantly reduces travel time and distance for maritime shipping between the two oceans.
