Best Dinner Places to Eat in Florida Panhandle

"This place isn’t just donuts, and it isn’t just a breakfast stop, but it’s certainly a great H.Q. to find yourself at in the morning. We definitely suggest making some full-hearted forays into the donut selection: from glazed and chocolate glazed to cinnamon twist and that irresistible Custard Long John."

"I was instructed not to leave Panama City Beach without trying Thomas Donut and Snack Shop – billed as America’s only beachfront donut shop. I got up 30 minutes earlier just to give it the respect it apparently deserved. However, I don’t really understand the obsession with donuts."

"This might be the only restaurant in PCB where you can wave “hi” to the (real, live) alligators in the pond outside before proceeding inside for some mouthwatering seafood. Bayou Bill’s offers an impressive menu of seafood choices, but they’re downright famous for their king crab legs. A full bar serves up a huge range of refreshing drinks, and the cozy, down-home dining space welcomes visitors in after a full day of exploring the Gulf shore."

"My favorite restaurant though is Bayou Bill's Crab House at the far west end of the beach. It's where the locals go to shell fresh boiled pink Gulf shrimp and shuck oysters from Apalachicola Bay."

"A little off the beaten path, Boon Docks could be easy to miss if not for the well-placed signage. This little seafood joint nestles in by some of PCB’s most productive fishing operations, and it serves up seafood so fresh you can practically taste the saltwater. This is the place to go if you’re in the market for gorgeous views of the docks, mouthwatering hush puppies, and some of the best grouper you’ve ever tasted."

"Located under the mighty oaks on the Intracoastal Waterway just 5 minutes from the Beaches in West Bay, Boon Docks offers you a delicious array of local and regional seafood, which may be prepared in a variety of ways. Take in the history of our 1941 West Bay landmark, the old fish house, the Buchanan home, and the old bait store, all now part of Boon Docks Restaurant. Phone: 850.230-0005www.boondocksfl.com"

"This Panama City Beach state park has been established with the help of both the City of Panama City Beach and the Florida Department of Environmental Protections for all nature lovers. Spanning 2,900 acres, Conservation State Park has activities for all that visit!. Both hikers and bikers can enjoy approximately 24 miles of trails ranging in length from 0.6 miles to over 10 miles with a variety of starting points."

"Water slides, trampolines, and mini-golf are fun, but sometimes, it’s important to expose your kids to the natural world. The Panama City Conservation and Wetland Park provides the perfect opportunity to do exactly that, while still ensuring that your kids are entertained for every moment of your outdoor adventure. Hit up the park’s eight boardwalks, which provide spectacular views."

"Panama City Beach’s Conservation Park covers nearly 3,000 acres. With 12 trails to choose from ranging in distance from 0.6 to 11 miles, the Conservation Park is a great way to enjoy the outdoors while taking a break from the beach. A combination of wooden boardwalks and bridges, paved paths, and dirt trails wind their way through cypress domes."
