Overlooking
the Gulf of Mexico, Panama City Beach is located in the Northwest region of Florida.
Average water temperatures of 72 degrees combined with an average air
temperature of 78 degrees creates mild subtropical temperatures for year-round
enjoyment.
Rated
the "Number
One Beach in America"
in 1995 by coastal authority Dr. Stephen Leatherman, it is best known for its 1
1/2 miles of white sand beaches, natural dunes and crystal-clear
water. The soft Panama City Beach sand is actually quartz crystals, which
over time has been broken down, bleached, polished and deposited on the
shoreline. This natural process has made Panama City Beach home to the "World's
Most Beautiful Beaches."
Panama
City Beach and the surrounding areas maintain 37 parks that offer swimming,
fishing and boating, nature trails for hiking and biking, picnicking, golf and
tennis. St. Andrews Bay surrounds much of Panama City Beach, providing it with
a natural, protected harbor. Several charter boats are available from the
harbor for deep-sea fishing.
Panama City Beach has lots of vacation shopping,
restaurants and outdoor cafes and coffee shops. Weekday bus service is
available to the Panama City Mall and all other major shopping centers in the
nearby area. St. Andrews State Park has over 1,200 acres of beaches, sand
dunes, nature trails, pinewoods and marshes to explore. The family-fun
destination of Panama City Beach is just minutes away and offers beachside
amusement parks with arcades, miniature golf, gift shops, sidewalk cafes and
restaurants.
