Teeming with southern charm, Panama City Beach sits majestically on the Gulf of Mexico coast, in the sunny state of Florida. It's not just the 9 miles of pristine shoreline that lure the visitors – this town, which experienced a building boom in the mid-2000s, boasts a modern skyline with luxurious high-rise condominiums taking the place of erstwhile homes and motels. The real estate surge even led CNN/Money to name it America's top real estate market for five years running from 2006.

Famed as a vibrant spring break destination and the filming location for MTV's Floribama Shore, Panama City Beach is also an essential stop for the culturally curious traveler. The city features prominently in films and even hosted an international wrestling event. Home to popular attractions like Pier Park and Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum – and once the base for a beloved soccer team, the Panama City Beach Pirates – there's more to this resort town than meets the eye.

When to visit Panama City Beach

Visit Panama City Beach between April and October to experience mild weather, considerable festive cheer, and dazzling events. This is the high season, so be prepared for crowds. However, if you're watching your budget, consider visiting in spring – especially April to May. You'll discover lower flight costs and fewer tourists to share the picturesque beaches with.

For those who prefer peace and tranquility, the autumn and winter months, i.e., September to February, provide the perfect respite with fewer holidaymakers and reduced hotel prices. Avoid the sweltering summer months, from June to August, unless you're a fan of high temperatures and busier tourist areas. All in all, Panama City Beach promises a delightful retreat, whatever the time of year.
