It is also the county seat of Bay County, which was created in 1913 and named for the nearby Saint Andrews Bay. There are 27 miles of county beaches, warm waters, and cool breezes! The most notable landmark is Panama City Beach.

Snorkeling, fishing, and boating are just a few of the activities available along the coast of Panama City Florida. Many attractions and world-class golf courses provide endless hours of family fun, and the array of fine restaurants ensure an excellent meal no matter what your taste or budget.

The warm waters created by the Gulf Stream come ashore in Panama City florida and are home to an abundance of exotic sea life.

Six historic wrecks are offshore, including the 465-foot Empire Mica. The wrecks, combined with several offshore reef sites, provide divers and snorkelers with an exciting adventure!

Do you enjoy fishing? Whether you are in pursuit of the "big one" or simply a fine dinner, Florida will never let you down!

You might choose to charter a boat to take you deep-sea fishing or leisurely fish off of one of the fine marinas or piers.

The tourist season kicks off with Spring Break in March and lasts through September. Cold spells are very brief during the winter months, offering Panama City's "snow bird" population a respite from the frigid northern winters!

Panama City Florida and the surrounding areas are filled with fun activities for whole family.
