Are you planning a trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, to rest, relax, and spend time at the beach this Memorial Day weekend? Make it a vacation to remember! There are so many fun things to see, do, and experience in and around PCB, whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family.
Beach Visits
If you’re staying near the beach, such as in a beachside resort, it makes sense to visit the beach! Panama City has 27 miles of spectacular white-sand beaches, offering plenty of opportunities to swim, build sandcastles, and play beach volleyball.
Water Sports
PCB is a water lover’s paradise. Whether you prefer the relaxation of kayaking or the thrill of jet skiing, paddleboarding, or parasailing, there are options galore! Many places around PCB also offer water-sports rentals, so you don’t have to buy new equipment.
Shipwreck Island Water Park
Looking for something to entertain the whole family? Pack your swimwear and venture down to Shipwreck Island, a family-friendly water park on Hutchison Boulevard. This tropical-style water park has a relaxing lazy river, a wave pool, and high-speed slides for the thrill-seekers in your travel group. There are even group rides like the White Knuckle River and Zoom Flume!
St. Andrews State Park
Nature lovers can’t help but be impressed by the offerings at St. Andrews State Park. There are two beach areas, both great for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. There is also no shortage of hiking trails, picnic areas, and opportunities for snorkeling and birdwatching.
Shell Island
Make Memorial Weekend extra special with a picnic on Shell Island. Shell Island is a secluded barrier island just off the coast that’s accessible via a boat or pontoon. It’s an ideal spot for shelling, picnicking, and snorkeling.
Spend Time At Your Hotel
The beauty of staying at a beautiful hotel right by the beach in Panama City Beach is never being far from fun activities and events. Most top-rated resorts and hotels take great pride in offering a range of on-site amenities to ensure your comfort and enjoyment during short weekend getaways or longer vacations.
For example, the Sandpiper Beacon hotel in Panama City Beach is regularly referred to as the ‘fun place’ because it features swimming pools, a Lazy River, waterslides, mini golf, an arcade, and much more. You don’t even have to cook during your stay, as there are many on-site places to eat, including Coconuts Restaurant, Shoobies Grill, and the Ice Cream Shop.
Fancy a drink to celebrate the weekend? Pay a visit to the Tiki Bar and Dolphin Bar. The Dolphin Bar is a perfect beachside retreat with cold drinks and friendly service. You can also expect ice-cold tropical cocktails and fruit smoothies at the Tiki Bar, located just behind the resort.
After enjoying the many wonderful amenities, you can then retreat to your room or suite, many of which have been thoughtfully updated with fresh paint, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, and more. This is what makes Sandpiper Beacon a top choice for the best hotels in Panama City Beach, Florida
Pier Park
If you’d prefer to spend your weekend away eating delicious food and shopping ‘til you drop, look no further than Pier Park. Pier Park is a vibrant destination with national retailers, local boutiques, a movie theater, an amusement park, and a variety of restaurants.
Best of all, Pier Park is just steps from the beach. You can spend your spare time walking between the two destinations, soaking up the best of PCB.
Fishing
With miles and miles of local waters, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to finding places to chase big fish! You can explore the bays and backwaters on a charter or cast your line from the shore to hook sailfish, redfish, trout, and a range of other species. Get fishing, and good luck!
