Panama City Beach Attractions You Can’t Miss

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Visit Panama City Beach. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you ready to start planning your spring and summer vacations?  Then you’re ready to check out the Panama City Beach attractions that you just can’t miss.  Since Panama City Beach, or “PCB,” was very fortunate regarding the effects of Hurricane Michael, you’ll find accommodations, attractions, and restaurants open for business and ready to welcome visitors to the sugar-white sands and amazing turquoise water of PCB.

With this handy guide, you’ll see how to make unforgettable memories when you visit Panama City Beach.  Plus, when you share your images, videos, and stories with the hashtag #MyPCB, you might be featured on MyRealPCB.com, and you’ll have the chance to win a 2 night stay in a Gulf-front unit, 4 attraction passes (4 tickets to Gulf World Marine Park), one round of golf for 4 & a $100 gift certificate to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville (see official rules on MyRealPCB.com).

Enjoy wines and wine slushies made from 100% real fruit at this hometown favorite.  Stop by for complimentary wine tastings and take home a bottle (or a case) of Florida wine.  Try the Guava Mamma, a gold medal winner in the Indiana International Wine Competition, and be sure to pick up a wine slushy to cool off in hot weather.
