Panama City Beach Bucket List: 5 Best Things To Do in PCB Florida

1. Get an Epic View from the SkyWheel Ferris Wheel
Get ready for your breath to be taken away with the spectacular view of Panama City Beach on board the 53-meter SkyWheel! The gondola ride offers a relaxing experience and is perfect for taking that Instagram-worthy photo (or video!).If you want to bring things up a notch, their VIP pass gives you free drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), double the flight time, and the chance to ride their VIP gondola. It has a glass-bottom floor, giving you more opportunities to take that perfect shot!

2. Eat Seafood (Pineapple Willy’s)

What better way to enjoy your beach trip than indulge yourself with fresh seafood, and Pineapple Willy’s restaurant won’t disappoint! Boasting a wide variety of seafood dishes, from fried oysters to grilled shrimp to fileted Mahi-Mahi, your mouth and tummy will keep coming for more.

And to add to your overall experience, you can also enjoy the live music performances while having a drink at Willy’s Pier Bar. All in all, this is something that you definitely should try!

3. Take a Dolphin Sunset Cruise
Dolphins and sunsets — it doesn’t get much better than that. Island Time Sailing will take you on a 2-hour cruise that swishes you through Grand Lagoon and onto the Gulf of Mexico in search for Flipper and his friends — we saw plenty dolphins on our cruise! Grab a drink and a snack, then end the evening with a beautiful sunset across the emerald waters
4. Have an Animal Adventure at ZooWorld Panama City Beach

Get up close and personal with the wildlife at ZooWorld Zoological and Botanical Conservatory. Home to hundreds of exotic animals, from kangaroos to lions to sloths and so much more, this park will take you on an adventure trip around the world!

You also get to experience petting and feeding animals like lemurs and baby bearded dragons, not to mention the free kisses that you will get from the giraffes 🙂 This is one experience you can’t miss!

5. Do a Tasting at Panama City Beach Winery
Panama City Beach Winery specializes in fruit wines and is the only registered citrus winery in the United States. Their wines are made with 100 percent real fruit and no added sugar to the finish. Their blackberry wine literally has four pounds of blackberries in every bottle!
Stop by for a free tasting and take a bottle (or two) back to the beach with you. Don’t miss trying the Key Lime wine — it was my favorite and has won a number of awards!
