Activities in Panama City Beach
When you head down to the world’s most beautiful beaches for a few days, everyone plans on spending some quality time relaxing on the beach and soaking up some of that Florida sunshine, but did you know that there are tons of activities in Panama City & Panama City Beach, Florida for kids of all ages? Are you the daring and adventurous type? Jump on the back of a speeding jet ski, take a high flying trip on a parasail, or maybe even try a bungee cord ride! If that seems a little too daring, no problem! Take the wheel of a go-cart whirl around multi-tiered tracks, play a round of mini-golf, or maybe even play some of the latest games in one of the many arcade & game rooms. You can take boat rides in all types of boats – fast or cruising – and if you’re in the mood to be a captain, you can even rent a boat for a day!
