Summer is winding
down, and while everyone
is starting to head back to
work or school, that’s no
excuse to not stay fit and
healthy! Panama City Beach
has much more to offer
than its legendary beaches.
Hidden nature trails, family
attractions and active community
events are abundant
in the fall. Here are 25 ways
to keep in shape in the fall
and most importantly—have
FUN! For information about
