We've been coming to Panama City Beach for 50 years. The best advice I can give you is if you want quiet stay on the west end and if you are a partier stay on the east end of the beach
Hello, my husband has never been to any beach! Could you tell me what hotel you recommend in a quiet area? With a beach view from the room? Thank you so much!
@@amberjay5361 we go every year. there all pretty good. just make sure you stay on the beach side of the street if you plan to walk on beach much, the hotel or condo will have its on beach access. almost all places have great beach views
Two of the best years of my life were spent there.
A a local, I can confirm that this is a half and half town. Party or chill, but be nice to everyone please. Some tourists do get a little crazy sometimes. But overall, this place is incredible.
Thank you I just came from Panama City this mornings red eye. I live in NYC & didn't want to leave, I can wait to return I would like to stay at least 1mth to get a feel 4 it
I'd would consider relocating

Cruising the strip has a very long history in PCB! I have never known of the strip to be void of traffic in the evenings in the summer, it is see and be seen along 98. They have tried to stop it but that has failed every time, young people are going to ride around in their cars. It keeps the place young and us older folks young at heart! Even with all of the modern high rises the place still has a classic old charm about it if you know where to look! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Well that’s good to know! I guess I’m just being the cranky one. 😜
I'm here right now. I can't wait for the airshow tomorrow!
Havent been but nice
PCB is paradise!
I always loved going to Panama City Beach. Last time I been was 2021
Love Panama! It's our familys go to vacay spot when we want a getaway on a budget. They are serious about thise double flags. We went to the beach and just put our feet in and they came over telling us to get away from the water. So they do watch and they WILL definitely come over to tell you not to get in the water. Only for your own safety though. We went during spring break of 2023 and I didn't find that it was busy at all. We stayed on Thomas Dr right on the beach but a good distance from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Definitely a more family friendly side of town.
Thank You Mr. Colbert .
I live here in PCB. If you go to St Andrews State Park, it's worth catching the ferry to Shell Island which is directly across what we call "the pass". It's cheap and a short ride, maybe 2 or 3 minutes. They have a kiddie pool area on the pass side or you can walk over to the Gulf side as well. Less crowded and plenty of shells there. Love the video brother 👍
Started carrying my kids to PCB starting in 2000, even at spring break, my kids still love it to this day.
Panama City Beach Florida is so beautiful, I know because I live in it
Pretty beach
Panama City Beach is famous for its emerald waters,white sand and relaxing beach atmosphere, but it is also a place to celebrate.On Thanksgiving Day , resteurant s will take care of cooking and cleaning and serving meals. If you've never been here, it must be on your list places to visit. We always had a great time here...
My next vacation is here thanks for video
Shores of Panama is one of the rowdiest places in PCB. Especially during spring break and high school senior trip week (late May early June).
We are going in June can't wait. It will be our second time.
You stayed at one of the more rowdy condos lol. But its nice in that pool area.
Thank you for all the suggestions! I agree they should close that road in Pier Park. The beaches are amazing. The traffic is crazy! Unfortunately, the beach road probably needs to be 2 lanes on each side. We are going for NYE! I think we are close to pier park. 🙂
I never had been there, but I want to go
Goofy Golf is one of the BEST things about PCB. Generations of families have made photos there with the "critters." I have a photo of my mother sitting in the monkey's hand in about 1964.
I loved it!
I have pictures of my grandpa and I inside of the big white head , I was 5 then , I am 60 now I sure miss him.
Keir and Noah met Stephen Colbert in Panama City Beach Florida. Keir and Noah said Stephen Colbert is a super nice guy .
Who are Keir and Noah?
Comin in beginning of june. The car meet thing is exactly what wi dells is like also the attractions. Minus the ocean i think we may forget we are across the country😊
I would suggest that people need to try Gulf World and definitely the dolphin show that they do. Me, my wife and my in laws loved it but my little boy had a blast with it. Definitely a great place to take kids. And for food I’d suggest Pineapple Willys, Shane Rib Shack, All American Diner and Gulf Coast Burger Company.
Take side roads to get to Back Beach Rd, it can still be busy, but less crowded than Front Beach Rd.
Omg you passed the place I stayed at last year
We have drove from are town called Brownsburg in Indiana to Panama city beach Florida it took 12 And a half hours
I go every year
There are more parking areas than what you said. I lived in PCB for over 20 years. I promise those are just a few parking spots that you mentioned.
Thanks for the video. We shared your video on our channel. "Ten Things to Know Before you Go"
Thanks!
Agreed. Shut the street down. Make like beale Street in Mempho without the stray bullets. Thats not a band of course. Open air walking, shopping and drinking. Should done that a long time ago.
agree
I ws stationed at Eglin 1973-74 about 70 miles away. Back then there was nothing in Destin and not much on island.. I use to swim offshore a half mile with a mask and i found one big shell. I'm going back next week and got an Airbnb in Panama City for 8 days for $295. It's a working vacation so I stay frugally.
Is Panama Beach a place to take younger kids during spring break?
As seashelling nut. It's best to do it at low tide. High tide will wash the seashells away back into the ocean.
Miami and Hallandale Beach Florida, beaches is better and beautiful.
I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.🇺🇸
The shells are filtered out when the sand is being brought up. They do that in the off season
Ah ha!
And I had to go to the hospital because I got bit by wasp and deadly ones I got bit by 3 and my uncle said Manet it would stop if you go in the water but I just got a lot of bumbs everywhere it’s because I did not mean to hit a wasp nest I was hitting the bushes now I’m allergic
Yea Tampa Sarasota
Glad to know to avoid boom boom music at the Pier
WHERE? Does all the septic waste go?
I'm trying to make Destin a relocation goal. Mainly because that sand is magic! It's crazy😂
We live in Navarre about half between Destin and Pensacola. There other areas worth checking out that are very close to the beach that aren’t built out like Destin. Look around you might find more bang for your buck.
It is beautiful but it’s expensive especially in Panama City beach . I have been living there for nearly for 4 years…
No alcohol on the beach in march
Where did you stay while visiting PCB?
Hi! We stayed at Shores of Panama.
I’m going to be taking my family of four. We’re looking for a resort with entertainment, activities, food, tiki bars, and of course good pools. Our kids are grown so looking for adult friendly.
Lyndsey, I would recommend you stay at emerald beach resort. It has everything you mentioned. Tidewater beach resort is another option
The Pay to working as a 911 dispatch was 5.25 an hour in 1996 , I would like to know what they are making now?? How is buying a home in a nice area?
Non-existant.
The car situation at pier park has gotten worse over the years. I pray it doesn't take a child getting hit for them to change things
I’ve lived there for 11 years
7 people drowned in June? WTF?!?!
I spent 10 minutes in the water, and found that I could only swim in tight circles.
I told my daughter to travel to Florida for spring break, but she said it's a long way to go "for skin cancer and a Slurpy." Young people today are much smarter about their habits and health choices than I was.
U better take her butt to the beach so she can get Outside!! Get some sand ,sun and fun. Put the phone / tablet down.skin cancer and a slurpy,...Netflix reference. Lol
I was blessed to visit LONG AGO! I expect to NEVER see Florida again.
I didn’t like pier park either!!!
you dont think people jamming in the streets was a party at the beach ? what
I have I prefer Destin better. Panama is more populated and Destin has crab island!
Only downfall. I love to hear the ocean sound. There is not that in Panama City.
Probably because there's no ocean nearby.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Wondering how to fly in from LAX. Are there any direct flights? If not, what is the best way to get to Panama City?
Come for vacation leave on probation
