Perhaps you need a bit more convincing that Panama City Beach is the right choice for your Winter holiday, so we’ve got five great reasons why this Northwest Florida gem is calling your name.
Amazing Attractions
Who needs the beach anyway? Panama City Beach has always offered lots of fun activities and things to do for all ages, but now there’s more attractions than ever! The list includes Gulf World Marine Park, ZooWorld, Shipwreck Island, Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum, WonderWorks, and plenty more!
The Nightlife
Panama City Beach is a family-friendly destination, but if you’re a fan of going out after the sun goes down, the nightlife alone is worth the trip. Enjoy everything from live music to karaoke. Bringing the kids? There’s bowling, mini-golf, go-karting and movies, and check out Pier Park at night! You’ll love it.
Dining
Famous for its fresh seafood, Panama City Beach has a huge variety of eclectic and international dining options to choose from. Dining on the water is a vacation luxury in itself, so feel free to kick back for a few hours and relax with some great food, gorgeous views and warm Gulf breezes. Harpoon Harry’s has a famous reputation for being a favorite spot and provides the best of both worlds – an open air outdoor deck, and an indoor posh dining hall equipped with a beautiful bar in the middle of the room.
The Shopping!
Shopping is always a fun part of being away on vacation, and there are some great bargains to be had! Thanks in part to Pier Park, a large outdoor lifestyle center boasting everything from department stores to quirky galleries; one can find anything and everything here. Beach gear, trendy apparel and accessories, gifts and furnishings – Panama City Beach truly has become a shopper’s paradise.
Gulf View Hotels and Condos
One thing’s for sure and that’s Panama City Beach has changed over the past 10 plus years. The boom in tourism has allowed new luxury condos and hotels to be built on the water that provide vacationers some spectacular views, not to mention some great relaxing accommodations that really make you feel like you’re on vacation – which is the whole point!
