ATTRACTIONS
Summer is here! There is an endless amount of adventure on both land and water for your Panama City Beach getaway. Long stretches of “The World’s Most Beautiful Beaches” and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico have made Panama City Beach famous, but it’s what visitors can do here that make it such a popular destination.
If you are seeking water fun then try parasailing, kiteboarding, skim boarding or windsurfing. Charter a boat and cast your line into the Gulf. Catch a glimpse of playful dolphins off Shell Island from a tour boat or jet ski. Combine eco-tourism and excitement while cruising our natural waterways on an airboat in search of alligators and coastal wildlife.
Need a break from the beach? Satisfy your thrill-seeking urges with zip lining, mazes, dune buggies, putt-putt golf, and racetracks. View the breathtaking scenery by taking a helicopter ride, spend leisure time playing one of our championship golf courses or visit one of our many museums.
Panama City Beach also offers close encounters with both dolphins and exotic animals. This is your chance to view the natural beauty found in almost every corner of this piece of paradise…the possibilities are endless! So many choices, never enough time. Don’t worry – you’ll be back!
