Panama City Beach Changing?




Panama city beach is undergoing a tremendous change. Having been going there since my high school and college days, it has been interesting to watch these changes as a property owner. It is returning more and more to the family vacation place it once was. The restaurant selection has just exploded. If you are looking for great seafood, The Saltwater Grille has "become the “in” place to dine on Panama City Beach." A 25,000 gallon aquarium sits right in the middle of the room, and the seafood/steak selection fantastic! In looking for an after dinner cocktail, there is no better place than Margaritaville PCB down on front beach road. Lots of lively music and cold drinks.


I am an avid saltwater fisherman, so I usually try to take 3 or 4 trips when in town. Lots of good captains to choose from, but my friend Bubba Lang is who I go with. His boat is right over in the lagoon and he catches plenty of fish. After a hard day on the water, nothing tastes better than a cold beer and a dozen oysters. The Captains Table in St. Andrews is the only place to go for that. Mitch, the owner, is a great guy and he has great food. With the way Panama City Beach is growing, the choices for food and entertainment will grow as well. Still, there is no substitute after a great day at the beach, for a cold cocktail and watching the sunset from the beach. Shoes are optional.


While we are in Panama City we are close to everything! Our Summit vacation rental is located on the 7th floor, above the swimming pools. The condo balcony is a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset.
