Panama City Beach Travel and Vacation Rental Overview
Panama City Beach Vacation Rentals
The City of Panama City Beach (a/k/a Panama City Beach, or simply "PCB") is a city in the Florida Panhandle on the Gulf of Mexico in Bay County, Florida, United States. The city is often referred to under the umbrella term of "Panama City", despite being a distinct municipality from the older and larger inland Panama City to the east, making Panama City and Panama City Beach two separate cities. Panama City Beach's slogan is "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches" due to the unique sugar-white sandy beaches of Northwest Florida.
For quite some time Panama City Beach has been a popular vacation destination, especially among people in the Southern United States. The city is also a very popular spring break destination, sometimes being referred to as "The Spring Break Capital of the World," due to about 100,000 college and high school students who arrive during the months of March and April.
Well-known locations in the city were places such as "The Hang-Out" at the Long Beach Resort motel and the now closed Miracle Strip Amusement Park. A construction boom from 2001 to 2007 dramatically changed the beachfront skyline with high rise condos and hotels, although many planned projects have been scrapped or put on hold due to the real estate downturn.
Panama City Beach in Florida is one of the best known and most beloved beach resorts in the world. Beach goers come to Panama City Beach just to relax on its clean, white, sandy beaches, to participate in every imaginable water sport including scuba diving and fishing, and even to enjoy some of the hottest party spots anywhere. Panama City Beach is located in the Florida Panhandle where other vacation and travel opportunities abound.

When to Visit Panama City Beach
If you're a college coed, you're probably booking one of our Panama City Beach vacation condos for Spring Break (March). That means if you?re a family looking for some laidback fun on the beach, it?s best to visit in the summertime, when rowdy Spring Breakers are long out of town. But remember, with Panama City Beach vacation homes, you and your family are always welcome. With such private and roomy accommodations, you can seclude yourself from as much or as little activity and people as you want.
Because Panama City Beach has temperate weather year-round, it?s a good idea to visit the city in fall or winter, when the crowds are gone, but the beaches still beckon.

Florida is a diverse state with beautiful beaches, grand resorts, exciting theme parks, island getaways, and sophisticated cities. Inland or coastal, indoors or out, for vacation or forever, the Sunshine State has a time and a place for everyone. The mention of beaches and such riches brings to mind only Florida – the sunshine state – where there is no shortage of exquisite sun-kissed beaches or of charming beachfront and oceanfront vacation homes. The beaches of Florida are not limited to just the coastline of the mainland; there are a large number of barrier islands as well. So, vacationers seeking a beach break in Florida can choose from the beachfront vacation homes on the Atlantic coast, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, or on the shores fronting the Intracoastal Waterways.
