Barges and boats will dock here and there is frequently a concession boat since the island has no amenities. A little walk towards the gulf will bring you midway to a "kiddie pool" safe for kids to swim and play in or adults to relax. The water is truly great in both those spots. The gulf here is absolutely beautiful. There are small intact and crushed shells on the beach line and in the water about knee deep there are medium shells if you dig around. Waist deep are where the large shells are. There are plenty of these but you have to work for them. Bring goggles, flippers, etc. and it will be easy. We went on a day when the jelly larva were swarming so we stayed knee deep and still enjoyed ourselves and got a few good shells. If there had been no jellies we could have found A LOT more and bigger ones for sure. The further you walk down the gulf side the more secluded you will be. Get there on first boat out!

Go for a swim, chill, or just take a long walk along the shoreline as this beach caters to anyone's needs. This lively place has it all; beach bars, families building sandcastles, and people parasailing/riding jetskis. There are so many seafood spots nearby too and there's even a pontoon rental or tours to the beautiful Shell Island, which I unfortunately missed out on but won't be making that mistake the next time around. Panama City Beach is a mix of perfect sand and warm temps. Yes it's that spring break spot so great for college students during that time and I'd probably steer clear during that time of the year but any of other time of the year it's the place to be for everyone else!

Panama City Beach Florida is a fun spot that holds a myriad of memories for me! "PCB" as we always…read moreknew it growing up in Huntsville, Alabama was the location of my first vacation! My neighborhood best friend, Charlotte's family, included me on their family vacation to PCB to stay in a motel with a *swimming pool* in PCB one summer when we were around ten or eleven years old. I still fondly remember our version of "crabbing" where we got a. a flashlight and b. a plastic bucket and scoured the actual PC beach at sundown to catch tiny crabs. We had so much fun doing this and absolutely begged her Momma to let us take them home and keep them as pets, which, of course was denied, and we would sadly release the little guys back to the edge of the Gulf! Fast forward a few years and my high school Sorority stayed either one or two weeks in a much nicer hotel in PCB with our fraternity brothers acting as chaperones (along with real chaperones). We girls worked so hard to earn the money for this trip meaning: gas, food, one night out to Captain Anderson's for a dinner cruise, one night out at a club (with fake IDs), any additional cash we would need (beer, putt-putt, additional clubbing nights) etc. We sailed in Hobie Cats for several days, and all wore our best spaghetti-strapped dresses and open toed shoes for our Captain Anderson's dinner cruise!! Thanks, Panama City Beach, for the myriad of fantastic memories and the upcoming tales to be told!

As I was traveling abroad, I did not have any beach chairs or an umbrella. Also needed a cooler as the temps were at 90+. I called the number provided numerous times.

They directed me to drive across the bridge. Only option was to buy everything which totaled over $125.00. Needless to say...a very expensive snorkel trip!
