There are three state parks in the region that are ranked among the country's top 20 beaches. Panama City Beach is a family-fun beach destination that has a definite surf city feel to it during college spring break time.
Public beaches along Front Beach Road (The Miracle Strip) combine with a plethora of motels, new resort properties and private homes mixed in with video game arcades, miniature golf, sidewalk cafes, gift shops and restaurants. On the near west end the new Pier Park project offers it all for dining and shopping.
Many who stay in Panama City Beach house rentals or Panama City Beach condo rentals will wake up to a view of the ocean every day and will be only steps away from plenty of fun in the sun. There is an endless variety of entertainment and attractions, such as beachside amusement parks, historic museums and a marine park with a tropical garden, bird theater and alligator and otter exhibits. At the eastern tip of Panama City Beach is St. Andrews State Park. This park includes 1,260 acres of beaches, pinewoods and marshes. There are sand dunes to hike, nature trails, pier-fishing and camping. You can also board a ferry to visit Shell Island, a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico that offers some of the dolphin encounters anywhere in Florida.

The Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida's Panhandle region enjoys warm temperatures all year long, although it is slightly cooler in the wintertime than southern Florida, due to its latitude and prevailing northerly winds. The Panhandle region also receives the most rainfall in the state - more than 50 inches annually. However, most of these storms, especially in the summertime, pass quickly and sunshine quickly returns. Hot and humid conditions can be expected throughout most of the summer months, May through September, although the area does receive lovely tropical breezes off the Gulf. Hurricane season generally runs late August through October, but direct hits along the Gulf Coast are not frequent.
