We care coming down the 29th thru the 6th. I’m looking to fish during any down time I have what so ever. I’ve got mostly your standard surf set ups (couple 10ft setups, 12ft setup, and a couple setups for throwing swimbaits, etc.) but I’m used to fishing Alabama gulf coast. Is it a big change for anyone that’s fished both? I’m just looking to catch fish. Not specifically targeting anything obviously I’d like to hook a few that pull some drag but overall just wanting to enjoy the fishing down there for the first time.

I’ll take any and all advice on surf, pier, jettie. I’ll probably be kind of restricted to late evening/night, early morning, and midday (my kids nap time)

Thanks!

Heading to Panama City Beach this weekend and trying to figure out what to expect weather-wise. I’m seeing a mix of sun/clouds with possible scattered afternoon storms, but forecasts seem all over the place.
For anyone local or already there:
Is it still looking beach-worthy most of the day?
Are the rain chances usually quick passing storms or all-day washouts?
How’s the wind/water been lately?
Trying to decide how worried I should be about the forecast 😂 Thanks!

I'm not sure where to post this, but my mom passed in 2019 and I have been unable to get a hold of my sister lately to bounce ideas off her

I am currently in the process of going through the k1 visa process to bring my fiance here to spend our lives together and I want to do a little celebration/ceremony

All I can seem to think about are big, grandeous events and am unable to conceptualize something small

I want it to be a celebration of her coming over and a celebration of us being together, I plan on doing it with my family at my childhood home but I just don't know how to make it feel special vs just a visit to see where I grew up

I don't even know if I'm explaining that right, hopefully someone has some ideas or can point me to a subreddit that could get me some ideas

Es tan difícil siendo hombre encontrar una sugar mommy en panamá? , quisiera saber si aquí en Panamá hay alguna manera de conseguirlo y como?

looking to buy a condo at Shores of Panama Resort at 9900 Thomas Drive. Any insights on the building, current and future assessments, HOA, and ease of selling/financing?

I have lived here and am aware of the party atmosphere and elevator issues.

I am seeking input from current owners on the financial risk of ownership in this building and the HOA. This intended purchase is for income and personal enjoyment.

Caught several fish this morning but before I decide I want to ask the community. They look fine but I know they can be full of stuff u can't see

Hi everyone! My fiance & I get married in almost 2 weeks & will be going to PCB for our honeymoon. This will be our 2nd time in Florida together, so we really don’t know much around the area. Any ideas will be helpful, we’re open to any help we can get or food recommendations!!

Have any other locals been trespassed from Pier Park and if so, why? I'm curious to know what you "did". I live on the west end near it.

I am relocating to PCB to open a sandwich/gyro joint, I just sold my 5 restaurants last year so I'm not an idiot that wants to or has a dream to open a restaurant lol. Looking for a rental in the area. Single male, good credit, my adult daughter will visit occasionaly. I prefer to be in the touristy areas, I am from the Lake of the Ozarks and used to it. Keeping my home there so I will probably be here 60% of the time. 2 bedrooms ideal, furnished would be great but not a deal breaker, no pets.

would love some recommendations for coffee or matcha shops walking distance from St. Andrew’s Marina. Yes, I could’ve asked Google but I’d love a real recommendation for something locally owned. Bonus points if they also have pastries that are locally made

My wife and I spend two weeks in PCB every August, and usually frequent places such as The Donut Hole and Pancakery. Both are fantastic, but looking for more options. Could be 30A, St Andrews, anywhere around the city.

Me and my inlaws vacation down here a few times a year and the last several we've stumbled into Gulf Highlands and have enjoyed its quiet nature and easy private access to the beaches. I am just wondering if there is something similarly setup but maybe a bit updated, nicer resorts pools, and a better on site restaurant than GH has. Don't get me wrong, it's worked for some time, I'm just curious what else is out there, hoping the grass is a bit greener elsewhere lol.

Hey guys! I'm a Destin Local and I'm staying the night in a PCB for the Alyce Beach Digital Graffiti Festival, and the whole day Sunday, so just wondering what local hidden gems or really good restaurants are in PCB or in the surrounding area! Thank you so much!

I just went to Donovan's and man, prices were like double what I always paid at Winn Dixie liquor! So sad they are gone! Anything on the west-ish side around there that is cheaper than Donovan's? Thanks in advance!

Hi all - I am a staunch environmentalist and am here with my family. I've visited previously but am usually in a position to drive all of my recycling materials back home. I am here this time without a car and won't be able to do that this time.

I know the city does not collect recycling (abhorrent considering the natural landscapes you'd think ought to have better protection and care) but wanted to ask if there are any private services that I might be able to call and pick up my recyclable waste? I'm primarily interested in aluminum which is infinitely recyclable!

Please be kind and do not take this opportunity to argue with me about the efficacy or realities of recycling. Thank you for any help you all can provide!

We will be in PCB on my 5 year old's birthday and will need a small birthday cake. It doesn't have to be fancy, but he would like some sort of theme. We don't want a fully custom cake as we are open to a variety of kid friendly themes. Last year we were in Destin and a beach themed cake from Win Dixie did the job.

Anything like that around PCB? We will be in the center, closer to West side.

Is there somewhere i could park my car for 3 days without it getting towed? I don’t mind if it’s paid or not, just don’t know if walmart is an option or not.

There is a Great resource for anyone interested in booking a private Dolphin tour to shell Island. the website is www.pcbtours.com it's a directory of some of the best options for your visit to shell island.

has a links to the operators own websites and socials.

Hope it helps you pick the right tour for your family.

I might be heading down to PCB the second week of June with some family. However, I would be spending maybe three nights or so by myself at a resort. I will not have a vehicle myself, so I would either be picked up by family or use Ubers and Lyfts.

I was looking for any recommendations of a nice resort with tiki bars, hot tubs, pools, restaurants, coffee shop, etc.. Close beach access. Something classy but laid back, good for a single 37 year old guy to have a drink and chill maybe meet nice folks.

Thanks
