Come Home for the Holidays to Panama City Beach

Panama City invites you ‘Home for the Holidays’ this winter season. From Thanksgiving through mid-December downtown Panama City will be hosting this annual event. Take a carriage ride through downtown while listening to carolers. Enjoy extended shopping hours and warm up with some hot chocolate or apple cider from one of their special booths. The winter months are a great time to visit this memorable City!

Downtown Panama City is a pedestrian friendly community offering residents and visitors a wide variety of educational, cultural, and entertainment alternatives. It has been named ‘Sixth Best Small Arts Towns in the United States’. Private galleries and boutiques reside in vintage buildings with epic detail, making Downtown Panama City an art and history lover’s paradise.

For those who are dreaming of a white Christmas, Panama City Beach is just a few miles away. Let powdered white-sand beaches take the place of snow with a daytime high of 64 degrees most winter months. Collect shells or spot wildlife at St. Andrews State Park. The park is known for its white sands, emerald green waters, and nature trails along the Gulf of Mexico and Grand Lagoon, offering ample opportunity for fishing and bird watching.

For a family adventure visit one of the many parks that Panama City has to offer. Gulf World Marine Park houses penguins, sharks, sea turtles, birds, sea lions, dolphins, crocodiles, alligators, etc. Daily park shows and interactive programs put this park on the top of every kids list.
