Referred to as "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches", Panama City Beach, Florida has transformed from a sleepy fishing town to major destination showcasing some of the finest accommodations around. Towering condominiums, gulf front resorts and even unique hotels are here for visitors providing something for every need... and budget.
Although you can choose from a wide variety of locations, it's the beach that attracts, and mesmerizes, everyone. There's something for everyone here - both land and sea. The Gulf is the ultimate playground, and you can view it from a skyline parasail ride, themed boat cruise or even personal watercraft. These exhilarating rides can even provide close encounters with some of the area's locals including the Gulf's host, the bottle nosed dolphin. It's true the tranquil waters can calm the nerves and even wash away the stress of everyday life.
On land, a stroll down the beach can produce an endless trail of unique shells, white sand that can produce amazing sand castles, and the greatest landscape views anywhere - whether by sunny day or shimmering sunset. Further inland, shopping has come into its own with the emergence of Pier Park. A outdoor mall made of distinctive retail, fantastic shopping and exceptional dining. Up and down the Strip you'll find local seafood restaurants, surf shops and family fun with go-carts, mini-golf and other dazzling attractions. And when the sun sets, the Strip comes alive with night life, theaters, outdoor concerts and more.
