Panama City Beach Travel Forum

We're staying in the Wyndham Resort Condos and need to know what inexpensive transportation is available to the clubs at night?

If we fly into Tallahassee can we get a 1-way bus to Panama City Beach? What company would I call?

My family and I are looking for a rental company to go through and make some reservations, does anyone have a suggestion? We usually stay in the Seagrove area on 30-A.

This year we would like to come and stay on Panama City Beach some where....
Let us know if you have a good ideas.

Thanks for your help,
Molly

So this will be my first panama city spring break and I had a few more questions. I saw on a website you can buy cards for special deals at like Club La Vela and other bars. Is this worth it or no? Also with alcohol issues what can we have on the beach, is there a limit regarding how much we can take with us on the beach and such. Sorry one more, can we have bonfires on the beach cause that would be kinda cool too and can we even go on the beach late at nite? Thanks guys I appreciate it

I know there are great deals and such at the bars when we get down there, but being a first timer, how much is it to buy a case of beer or a bottle of whiskey? Should I bother brining stuff with us or buy it down there. Thanks

I am visiting pcb the 2nd week of October. I was wondering what there was to do. I was told there is some sort of seafood festival sometime in Oct.

My husband and i, and our children will be visiting on 4th of July week. We will be staying at Long Beach Resort. I am interested in knowing what you think about Long Beach, and I would love to hear about some of the local "flavor"-what you think is the best of PCB...We love broiled seafood, and lots of it...so where to go. And can you carry a drink out on the beach? Let us know what to look for, and what to expect. We cant wait to come visit.
Thanks!

Hey PCB'ers. I'll be in PCB next Thursday, May 11th and looking for an inexpensive hotel / motel for 1 night. I'm meeting a buddy flying in on Friday, then accomadations will be at Bay Pointe.
Any clues on a 1 night stay would be greatly appreciated. Other options are closing down Spinneker's and staying up all night....hehehe
Seriously, I appreciate any response.
Thanks.

does anyone know anything about these condos are they very nice ?

We would like to find an affordable charter to try some ocean fishing and if you know of any places that would be on a "must see" list, your input would be appreciated. We picked the Legacy By the Sea and have 5 days to live it up.
Thanks for any replies in advance!

Has anyone stayed here or know anything about it? Planning a trip to PCB in October 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thnaks!!

Can anyone tell me if you need to take the shuttle to Shell Island to snorkel at the Jetties? I keep reading wonderful reviews about this park and am confused if the Jetties or snorkeling areas are mainland or if you need to go to Shell Island.

Hi,

We are currently booked to stay at the Days Inn on Front Road in October. Has anyone stayed there??? Pictures on the web are hard to rely on sometimes. Also, years ago there was a restuarant in Panama City called Montego Bay. Is it still there? Is it still recommended? Are there other "family" seafood restuarants, that don't cost your first and second born children, that you would recommend.

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Hi.I am coming to work at the smith coal plant [near hwy 77] for february and march but apparently condo / motel / hotel prices REALLY go up in March [if they are even available].
I wont be interested in partying or the beach so it doesnt need to be a tourist area.I need something short-term for my friend and myself.
The plant is near PCB,out in southport,fl.Last year I stayed at PCB but didnt go past Feb [hence it was affordable] .
BTW,it sure is a beautiful beach but sooo much construction going on!
Any suggestions??
Thanks ahead of time!!

I can't afford to go on vacation very often. PCB is my dream, I haven't been since I was a teenager. My husband would rather spend vacation money on going to the woods and camping and hunting, and the only beach my husband has ever seen is the one on Galveston Island. I really want this to be a good experience so that he will want to go back to the beach again sometime.

Thanks for any help!!

I hear the weather is hot and humid in August. Will be taking an 18 month-old. Are there things to do there with a child that age in that type of weather? Vacation planning was not my idea...

How did Panama City get its name

Is their an "AirportBus" from Pensecola or Tallahassee to Panama City ? Since flights would be cheaper to these airports then paying $30 for a regular bus would work (every 2.5 hours or so)
