"I am a local (been here for a year now) and this is the first time visiting this restaurant. The wait time wasn't too bad and I had a party of 11 (family..."

"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."

"You can also try out Thomas Donut & Snack Shop if you are wanting some sweets. But be sure and get there early, as the line begins to grow on the weekend by 10 a.m., and it can get quite long!. These fried donuts are freshly made, many with unique flavors, and will make your taste buds melt."

"A local and visitors favorite place to stop and chow down, Thomas Donut & Snack Shop delivers tasty treats that aren’t limited to just their delicious donuts. Stop in and try one of their popular Texas Style Kolaches, coming in three varieties, this new staple will have your mouth watering!"

"If you feature foodie content on your Instagram, then this donut shop is a MUST!. Their foods are scrumptious. Not only is the food amazing, but it’s right on the beach."

"Tropical gardens plus shark feedings, dolphin encounters & sea lion, parrot & dolphin shows. Explore fascinating exhibits showcasing penguins, flamingos, sharks, alligators, sea turtles, iguana and more. Interactive programs include Swim with a Dolphin, Trainer for a Day, Animal Encounters, Meet N` Greets and many more!"

"Do your kids want to get up close and personal with the marine life of Panama City Beach?. Head to Gulf World Marine Park!. This attraction has been a local staple since 1970 and provides educational and exciting experiences for guests young and young at heart."

"Entertainment meets education at this beautiful marine park!. Enjoy close encounters with dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, exotic birds, and other animals. Directions from the Holiday Inn Resort: Head northwest on Front Beach Road/US 98 ALT."

"With just under 3,000 acres of uplands and wetlands, PCB Conservation Park offers a range of outdoor recreational opportunities, from hiking and biking to bird-watching and wildlife spotting. The park has a dozen well-maintained trails, which range from approximately a half mile to 12 miles in length, a total of 24 miles in all. Several of these have sections of boardwalk, which are especially convenient for strollers and wheelchairs, and most of the dirt paths are reasonably level, making them suitable for anyone."

"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."

"There’s more to PCB than beach scenery, as you’ll discover while hiking through the beautifully-preserved wetlands at Conservation Park. This vast green space provides one of the most peaceful, nature-filled experiences on the Emerald Coast."

"Located in the Town Center next to Panera Bread - 101 Bluefish Drive, Suite 105. Serves Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner"

"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."

"Really, Italian food is much more varied than the spaghetti and red sauce that has come to represent Italian food in America. Grilled and roasted meats and fish are very popular in Italy. The Carrabba’s on Panama City Beach continues this fine tradition!"

"A local, affordable seafood restaurant serving local favorites and creative extras!. On the Boardwalk next to XD Dark Ride Experience - 701 Pier Park Drive, Suite 153. Serves Lunch & Dinner"

"This family-owned spot has ranked among the top Panama City Beach kids attractions for over 65 years. FunLand doubles as an arcade and restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, it does close for the winter season."

"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…"

"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."

"Take your usual ice cream experience to the next level at Marble Slab Creamery, where you’ll encounter small-batch flavors with plenty of options for mix-ins. Fresh ingredients ensure that every cup, cone, sundae or shake tastes delicious, regardless of your preferred flavor. Even seemingly simple options such as vanilla taste wonderful due to the care that goes into selecting and preparing the shop’s high-quality ingredients."

"This small, brightly colored café offers Japanese-inspired crepes: not your average PCB breakfast joint, in other words!. (And, really, not just a breakfast joint.) These aren’t your average pancakes: They’re sculpted into lovely, folded bouquets of goodness. There’s plenty to recommend here, but for the perfect breakfast item, we’d go for the Sunny Bacon crepe, chockfull of bacon, eggs, and cheese, plus spinach, tomato, onion, and more."

"A nice place for fast breakfast on the way to Saint Andrews!. Seating for about fifteen, to go crepes are nice here. The sweet strawberry with cream and ch..."

"This spirited restaurant offers plenty of visual appeal, extending from its spunky beach decor to its beautiful plating and, of course, its magnificent views. The eatery is perfectly situated near both the beach and Pier Park, making it an ideal destination for everybody from beach bums to dedicated shoppers. The establishment’s large portions of Caribbean-inspired seafood never fail to satisfy — nor does the scenery or the friendly service."

"Local watering hole and restaurant featuring beach food, cold drinks, live music, karaoke and a dog friendly deck. Alibi is many things-a hideouts for shady characters, a rest stop"

"Once you experience eating dinner while watching the sunset, you’ll never want to dine any other way (trust us). Take in some of those spectacular views and refreshing sea breezes at Hang Five, one of the city’s newest spots, as you indulge in Gulf Coast paella with scallops, shrimp, crawfish, and mussels; pan-seared grouper; or some fresh seafood gumbo. There’s also live music by local bands on Friday nights, so once you’ve had your fill of their fare, grab a drink from their moody wood bar and have a listen on the sand."
