Panama City
The Panhandle is the western gateway to Florida. With all the charm of the Deep South you will still find remnants of old plantations, pecan groves and friendly folks who speak in a slow southern drawl. The waterways surrounding the endless miles of uncrowded beaches, sand dunes, and unspoiled river banks make fishing the chief attraction to the Panhandle.
Twenty-seven miles of powdery white sand beaches and emerald green waters of Panama City Beach make this area one of the most popular beach resorts. Blue marlin, sailfish, bull dolphin, wahoo and tuna follow the Yucatan Current close to the shores of Panama City Beach, making this area one of the finest sport fishing destinations in the world.
Scuba divers enjoy exploring the many shipwrecks that lie offshore. The 465-ft. Merchant ship, S.S. Empire Mica, was sunk by two torpedoes from a German submarine during World War II. The Tarpon, a 130-foot steamer, loaded with 200 tons of cargo and 31 passengers began taking on water in August of 1930. With only one life raft, eighteen people perished when the ship went down. In 1906 the 93-foot E.E. Simpson sank on a rescue mission to aid another vessel in distress. This wreck lies in 20 feet of water, 12 miles east of the Panama City Pass.
St. Andrews State Park is a former military reservation and has over one-and-a-half miles of beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and Grand Lagoon. From here you can catch a shuttle to Shell Island. You can explore the beauty and wildlife of this natural undeveloped island which is home to the world's highest concentration of bottle-nosed dolphins.
Panama City boasts an average of 320 days of sunny skies making outdoor activities in demand. Try your hand at one of the five championship golf courses located in the area or work out at one of the many tennis centers.
While in Panama City be sure to visit the Junior Museum of Bay County. Children of all ages will enjoy one of the many hands-on exhibits. Pioneer Homestead is an outdoor exhibit containing authentic buildings from the late 1800's including a log cabin, barn, smokehouse, and gristmill. This learning experience teaches young and old alike, the history of Northwest Florida pioneers.
