TripAdvisor Poll: Panama City Beach Named Top 5 Beach in USA!

Have you found yourself daydreaming about warmer weather and the sand between your toes lately? You’re not alone. Thinking about the summer months and ocean is sometimes the only way to get through these dark and dreary months.

Luckily, TripAdvisor made that fantasizing a bit easier by announcing the winners of its Travelers’ Choice awards for the best beaches in the USA and the world.

Our very own Panama City Beach has been listed as the fifth best beach in the USA!

The travel planning and booking site revealed the best sandy spots in the U.S and around the world, honoring a total of 343 beaches. The winners were determined based on the quantity and quality of traveler reviews and ratings for beaches on TripAdvisor gathered over a 12-month period. And according to a recent TripAdvisor survey, 49 percent of U.S. travelers say hotel prices are the most important factor when choosing a beach destination. So, TripAdvisor also identified the least expensive month for a hotel stay near each beach, meaning you can really start planning that much-needed holiday right now!
