Shop the coast.
Big-name stores and nights out in Panama City Beach, local boutiques on the bay, and small-town shops at the east end of the coast.
Pier Park
Pier Park is the coast’s biggest place to shop, eat and play. It’s an open-air center at 600 Pier Park Drive with more than 120 stores, including Target, Old Navy, Dillard’s, JCPenney and Marshalls.
Stay for dinner at spots like Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Ford’s Garage or Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls. Then ride the PCB Wheel, catch a movie at the Grand IMAX or walk out on the Russell-Fields Pier.
Pier Park North, across U.S. 98, adds Dick’s Sporting Goods, Rooms to Go and The Fresh Market. Pier Park West sits next door on the south side of U.S. 98.
