Fishing, Diving, Boating
Panama City Beach is home to one of the country’s largest sport
fishing fleets, and boasts multi-talented captains and crews. Choose
from a 16-foot skiff to fish the shallowest flat, or a million-dollar sport
fishing yacht to explore offshore hot spots in luxurious comfort.
The clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews Bay are
teeming with fish, including Blue Marlin, Red Snapper, Mackerel,
Trout, Pompano and Cobia. More than 10 fishing tournaments are
held here annually.
There is no better spot in the southeast to dive than off the coast
of Panama City Beach. The many natural and artificial reefs and
the warm waters of the Gulf cultivate the ideal breeding grounds
for sea life. Some of the species you can spot while scuba diving or
snorkeling includes sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays, starfish, sand
dollars and puffer fish.

Beach Weddings
The wedding business is perhaps the only industry that only has
good years and better years…never a bad year! 2.4 million brides
and grooms a year say “I Do”, and spend an average of $25,000 on
their special day. Locally speaking, nearly 14,000 weddings take place
in the Florida Panhandle every year...2,500 right here in Bay County.
Beach weddings are very popular now. Chances are if a couple
comes to Panama City Beach to get married, they will come
back year after year for vacations, bringing family and friends
to experience what our beautiful area has to offer. The Perfect
Wedding Guide (www.perfectweddingguide.com) of the Florida
Panhandle is a great place to reach brides and grooms in need of
guest accommodations, rehearsal dinners, showers and luncheons,
transportation, meals, gifts, honeymoons and more. After the
wedding, the new couple will need information on housing,
banking, home furnishings, insurance, healthcare, etc.
