Panama City Beach is located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, with miles of beautiful beaches and clear, calm waters that are crystal clear and great for swimmers of all ages. Visitors to Panama City Beach can visit St. Andrews State Park, where they will find campgrounds, boating, fishing, and nature, or swim with dolphins at Gulf World Marine Park. On rainy days or if sunburn starts to hurt, kids can explore WonderWorks, which is a science museum that contains three stories of activities and games for kids like laser tag, a virtual roller coaster, and a hurricane simulator. Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum is also in Panama City Beach, as is Shipwreck Island Waterpark, where parents and kids alike can have fun racing down water slides or relaxing on a tube in the lazy river.
