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 accommodation is beachfront resorts and holiday 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

Rosemary Beach invites you to kick off your shoes and feel the sugar-white sand between your toes. The pastel-colored buildings house boutique shops and art galleries arranged around pedestrian-friendly courtyards. Private boardwalks lined with sea oats lead to emerald Gulf waters where paddleboarding and swimming await. The town centre buzzes with a relaxed energy that makes you slow down. Upscale coastal cuisine dominates the food scene, featuring fresh Gulf seafood and farm-to-table offerings. Accommodation range from luxury holiday homes with private pools to boutique hotel rooms at The Pearl. The community's thoughtful design means you can walk or bike everywhere, though golf cart rentals are popular for exploring this charming beach haven.

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
