Après Beach Vibes Await in Panama City Beach: Where Water
Sports Meet Waterfront Happy Hours
As the ski season winds down, trade ski boots for bare feet
and set your sights on Panama City Beach, where après takes on a sun-soaked
twist. With 27 miles of snow-white sand along Florida’s Gulf Coast and a
vibrant lineup of beachfront bars, restaurants and events, it’s the ultimate
contrast: fun-packed days on the water and effortless island-style evenings.
Building on its reputation for laid-back coastal charm and a
vibrant beachfront scene, Panama City Beach captures the same social spirit
that defines traditional après, reimagined for a warmer, more relaxed setting.
With a wide range of water-based experiences to enjoy by day - from
paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkelling to jet skiing, fishing and wreck
diving - beach bars and waterfront venues keep the atmosphere going into the
evening.
Enhancing the destination’s vibrant beachfront scene is the
new Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. The 30,000-square-foot, three-storey live music
venue is set to open early May, bringing country music, Nashville-style
honky-tonk and panoramic beach views to Panama City Beach.

Established favourites continue to anchor the beach bar
lineup, including Schooners – The Last Local Beach Club, renowned for its daily
sunset celebration, live music and frozen cocktails; Sharky’s Beachfront
Restaurant, offering an expansive deck, tropical drinks and beach volleyball
courts; and Pineapple Willy’s, known for its signature rum drink, relaxed
waterfront setting and sweeping Gulf views.
As the ski season gives way to sunnier days, Panama City
Beach offers a compelling alternative with a year-round après beach offering.
