Its not Just for Spring Break Anymore in Panama City Beach

In Panama City Beach, as all of in the Panhandle, you'll find a place where Southern hospitality and quaint beach charm compel you to simply slow down and relax, take a warm deep breath of fresh salty air, enjoy the scenery while enjoying those you are there to share it with.

Panama City Beach means different things to different people. For a family Panama City Beach, FL is a great place to spend a vacation. You can enjoy all kinds of watersports and boating here and the fishing is second to none. If you scuba dive there are many sunken ships off the coast here to explore. When you're ready to relax just claim at patch on one of the white sand beaches there and let the world float away. If you'd rather be golfing you're in the right place, Golf Digest ranked Panama City Beach the third best golf city in America. Then when you're nice and relaxed after your day on the beach or in the water you can shake up the night at one of the many hot spots here. Another claim to fame of Panama Beach is it's claim to be the "Seafood Capital of the World". While I'm not sure about that I can say it's not uncommon to drive through and see restaurant marques advertising some kind of fresh fish that had been caught the night before for lunch or dinner. Along with being a very popular spring break spot Panama City Beach is know for the spectacular fishing common in the panhandle and also the magnificent resorts set on their sugar white beaches.

Say Panama City Beach, to anyone of the MTV crowd and they have visions of beautiful people in little more than beachwear splashing around the pool at LaVela day or night. Few cities offer as much to do after dark as before it but Panama City Beach is one of those places. After a day on the beach and a delicious, fresh seafood dinner put on your party clothes and check out the nightlife. Club LaVela is one of the most popular night spots on Panama City Beach. If you've ever seen MTV's Spring Break coverage you're familiar with this place or at least have heard the name. Club La Vela is the largest nightclub in America and one of the trendiest in the world. They currently have 14 theme rooms and add more all the time in order to stay on the cutting edge of nightlife. They have live entertainment and concerts weekly, Ladies Night every Friday and 'theme' nights such as 80's Mania on Sunday Night. Another popular club in the area is Coyote Ugly Saloon, the one made famous by the movie and CMT. They have nightly drink specials, concerts and special events. If you'd like to find a fun place right on the beach Sharky's is your spot. Shark's claims to be the worlds largest Tiki Bar, I've been there, it might just be true. They have live entertainment on the weekends.

If you're looking for more of a family night out go then Pier Park in Panama City Beach the place. It is actually an outdoor mall which means in has shops, art galleries and places to eat just no roof, except for the movie theatre, it has a roof . It looks like the main street in a quaint small town of yesteryear. Pier Park is located on Front Beach Road and covers approximately 1.1 million square feet right in the middle of Panama City Beach. Pier Park is also hosts a number of summer concerts and community events.

If you're looking for a quick bite try Camille's Sidewalk Cafe. Margaritaville is always fun as is Reggae J's Island Grill. Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Famous Hamburgers & Fries are great casual places, if you'd like to cool off with a sundae or ice cream cone the Marble Slab Creamery is a crowd favorite.

If you're looking for a night without the kids but a little more low-key than sharing the night with 5,000 of your closest friends try Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, a honky-tonk come to town from Nashville, it's new and sure to become a local nighttime hot spot in no time.

After the party is over, head to St. Andrews State Park for a relaxing morning and catch some rays so your friends back home won't know about all the celebrating you did.

Best hotels or resorts to stay in with kids in Panama City Beach, FL?

Hi, I would like to ask if someone knows the best hotel or resort facing (Gulf of Mexico )ocean and with balcony in Panama City Beach in Florida. I have two little kids too. There is so much choise, but I don't know the area that well, and I don't want to pay for something that isn't nice. Thanks!

Yup, there are a lot of places to choose from -- and really, location isn't that big of a deal. The main area of beachfront hotels are all close to the main touristy places, and nothing is very far away.

With that in mind, check out these:

Hope that helps, good luck!

Panama City Beach hopes to trade hard-partying image for family friendly theme
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - The few beach walkers, surfers and sidewalk shoppers who ventured out on a recent chilly afternoon created a very different scene from the craziness that will soon crank up here as temperatures climb and students descend on this spring break paradise.

Thanks for visiting!
