Lower Grand Lagoon

Lower Grand Lagoon lets you live the classic Panama City Beach dream with the bonus of having two waterfronts to enjoy. At St. Andrews State Park, you can snorkel clear waters in the morning and fish off the jetties by sunset. Thomas Drive buzzes with activity, from dolphin shows at Gulf World Marine Park to countless spots where you can rent jet skis or book a deep-sea fishing charter. Seafood dominates the dining scene here with everything from casual beachside grills to upscale waterfront restaurants. Most accommodations are beachfront resorts and vacation rental condos with stunning Gulf views. Getting around requires a car or rideshare, but a seasonal beach trolley connects the major spots during peak tourist months.

Rosemary Beach

Experience European Colonial charm in this Gulf Coast community, offering warm waters, beach activities, and a mixed-use town center with shops, restaurants, and live music at Peddler's Pavilion. Explore nearby parks and trails for a dose of nature.

Get away from the crowds, but still relax and people watch on this strip of beach known as 30A. Once you’ve been you’ll be surprised how many 30A stickers and Seaside caps/shirts you’ll notice in other states and countries. Great restaurants and extensive bike/hiking trails. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets

Dining options showcase fresh Gulf seafood in upscale coastal restaurants where sunset views come standard. Most visitors stay in luxury vacation rentals with private pools rather than traditional hotels. The pedestrian-friendly design makes exploring by foot or bike a breeze, with boardwalks offering stunning coastal panoramas.
