Best Gelato in Alys Beach

"The unsuspecting name of this restaurant might you lead you to dismiss it as a dessert-only spot, but you’d be missing out. Along with the 47 flavors to choose from for your towering New Orleans style sno-ball, there are po’ boys and muffulettas packed with meat. The roast beef po’ boy is consistently cited as surprisingly impressive."

"Bringing the best of New Orleans to Panama City Beach, David’s Sno-Balls offers the perfect combination of savory PO’ boys and sweet sno-balls. To the uninitiated, these look a bit like a standard snow cone. In reality, however, they are far more flavorful than your typical shaved ice."

"This welcoming café offers a creative menu that blends classic American plates with such international fare as Russian borshch, Uzbek kabobs, and pierogis. The breakfast menu doesn’t cover as much global ground, but it’s got some mighty tasty options, from the fried chicken biscuit and croissant sandwich to the crowd-pleasing Traditional Plate with its eggs-to-order, bacon or sausage, toast, and grits or hashbrowns. Breakfast in Style in Panama City Beach"

"This unique little spot has the scoop on fantastic flavors, sourcing each of their 40-plus ice creams, sherbets and frozen yogurts from the crème de la crème of the nation’s creameries. Pink Pelican’s menu of sweet treats is so wacky, it might make your head spin. Topping the list is the Pink Pelican Special, a mix of peanut butter cups, Oreo cookie pieces, brownie pieces and Heath Bar bits swirled together with a silky ribbon of butterscotch."

"This superb creamery offers a variety of unique ice cream creations including Madison’s Chocolate Madness (an extra fudgy brownie sundae), Dylan’s Cookie Monster Delight (a special cookie sundae), and the Mindsweeper (a milkshake with a shot of espresso). With a seemingly endless variety of flavors and extremely generous scoops, it’s easy to see why the Pink Pelican has such a loyal following. The Ice Cream Bar is 15 minutes from our motel."

"More often than not, you’re going to be standing in line awhile at Pink Pelican Ice Cream Bar. But here’s the deal: First, that’s always a good sign, and second, it gives you extra time to scheme up the perfect order!. As at Chuy’s, after all, you’ve got an awful lot of choices to sort out."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Visit Shoppes at Edgewater for all your splurging needs in Panama City Beach. The shopping mall is open until 10 pm daily."

"You’re faced with all kinds of tricky decisions after walking through the doors of Chuy’s Gourmet Pops & More, but the good news is none of them will end up being bad decisions. Maybe you’ll decide to select from the expansive menu of ice pops, some 35 flavors that will entice you in here. Some are fruit-based pops, such as mango, pistachio, and pineapple; others are milk-based versions, coconut, Nutella, and peanut butter among them."

"Mr. Puff’s is a great place to go for a little outside-the-box frozen-dessert foraying. The ice cream here comes in rolled-up form, accentuated by any number of different toppings. There’s a novelty factor to enjoying your ice cream in this getup, but the flavors are also mighty tasty: They include everything from brownie/Oreo and strawberry/blueberry combos to cookie dough and the ultra-sugary Fruity Pebbles option."

"Along with enjoying a wide range of Hawaiian- and Thai-inspired dishes, Pokee & Ice Rolls gives you the opportunity to taste a frozen dessert concocted in Thailand: the irresistible ice roll!. It’s essentially stir-fried ice cream, and it’s wonderful. Choose a base ice-cream flavor as well as a filling, and then select whatever goodies you want on top of your rollup, including fresh fruit, drizzle, or whipped cream."

"Pokee & Ice Rolls is bringing Panama City Beach a vibrant fusion of Thai and Hawaiian delicacies. You’ll have nearly limitless ways to create your own culinary masterpiece. Our friendly staff will guide you in your pokee order as you choose from a bowl, sushi burrito, or salad, and then complete it with a selection of fresh proteins and other toppings."

"Offshore from St Andrews State Park, this sandy 'desert' island is fantastic for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling. There are neither facilities nor shade: wear a hat and plenty of sunscreen. To get here, buy tickets for the Shell Island Shuttle at Pier Marketplace in the park; there's a trolley service to the boat. Snorkeling packages ($27) and kayak rental (single/tandem $55/65 per day) are available – the price includes your shuttle trip to the island. Check website for details and schedules."

"Aaron Bessant Park is one of Panama City Beach’s newest event destinations, and it’s most well-known for its free concert series. The park’s grounds are comprised of nearly 70 acres and include a large amphitheater that hosts evening concerts in a wide range of music genres, from country and rock to jazz and the blues. Concerts start in the evening when the sun has gone down, and most guests spread blankets on the ground and bring folding chairs along with coolers full of food and drinks."

"For those in search of outdoor activities other than the beach, Panama City Beach also offers a variety of parks, ranging from large recreational areas to small neighborhood green spaces. While there are parks located outside PCB's city limits, including St. Andrews State Park and Camp Helen State Park, the main three parks on the Beach are Frank Brown Park, Aaron Bessant Park and the PCB Conservation Park, according to Jim Ponek, parks and recreation director for the city. Ponek said Frank Brown is more of a "traditional sports park," with baseball, softball and soccer fields; basketball, tennis and shuffleboard courts; and several playgrounds, concession stands and picnic areas."

"Located on Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach, Rick Seltzer Beach is another convenient beach destination that’s slightly closer to town than the aforementioned St. Andrews Park. There’s ample parking nearby, and the beach is close to popular area hotels and restaurants, making it a great fit for those who want to spend as little time as possible in the car. The beach is staffed by lifeguards during the summer season, and there’s a boardwalk just inland from the dunes that’s the perfect place for an afternoon stroll."

"For some of the best access to the beaches of Panama City Beach, look no further than Rick Seltzer Park. The park boasts one of the best beaches in the entire city. Offering a great lifeguard crew, great views of the sunset, and close access to a variety of restaurants, Rick Seltzer Park is the perfect place to try out Panama City Beach watersports."

"The Brass Tap specialized in serving up and coming local breweries. The full beer menu boats 70 drafts and over 120 bottles. The food menu is nothing short of fresh and satisfying."

"Conveniently located adjacent to Panama City’s public beach, Russell-Fields City Pier is supposedly the longest pier of its kind on the Gulf of Mexico. Stretching more than 1,500 feet out into the gulf, it is a particular favorite of fishermen and walkers looking for the perfect place to capture a breathtaking Florida sunset. It’s common to see many marine animals, including fish, turtles, and rays, and the anglers often haul in impressive catches as well."

"Take a walk down the Russell-Field Pier extending over 1,500 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. Apart from the gorgeous pier, the Russell-Fields offers amazing fishing grounds and lovely views. Access to the pier is $3 for a spectator day pass."

"An 1133-acre stretch of marble-colored dunes rolling down to the water's edge, this state park's beauty is genuinely mind-blowing. The park sits nestled against the wealthy but down-to-earth community of Grayton Beach, home to the famed Red Bar and to the quirky Dog Wall – a mural on which residents paint portraits of their dogs. "

"This is the place to see what Florida looked like when only Native Americans lived here. One of the most scenic spots along the Gulf…"
