School’s Out. Bay’s In!
School is taking a break, and so should you. Trade the classroom routine for sunny days on St. Andrews Bay, family adventures on the water, and plenty of time together in Panama City. With warm fall weather and activities for every age, your family’s fall break belongs by the bay.
Summer Says Goodbye. The Bay Says Come On In.
Fall break is one of Panama City’s best-kept secrets. The sun stays warm and the water stays inviting, with plenty of ways to spend your days outside. While school is out, the bay is in — golden-hour kayak trips, dolphin excursions on St. Andrews Bay, adventures to Shell Island, fresh Gulf seafood, colorful murals, historic neighborhood strolls, and seasonal events throughout the city. It’s a fall break filled with sunshine, time on the water, and plenty to experience together.
