Welcome > Local Info > Panama City Beach  ...

A new skyline of distinctive architecture fills the horizon, and a collection of enchanting eateries, exhilarating attractions and chic retail are arriving daily. New museums, theaters, galleries and parks are on their way. The new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport will be completed May 2010, opening travel channels throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia, and making Panama City Beach and nearby areas one of the most sought-after travel destinations in the world. Pier Park, the 900,000 square foot mega family entertainment complex nestled between Front Beach Road and Panama City Beach Parkway (Highway 98), has redefined Panama City Beach. People now know when they come here that a shopping destination like none other awaits them. Pier Park is a beautifully landscaped outdoor shopping mall with festive, colorful Caribbean architecture, containing national chain retailers along with unique locally owned boutiques and specialty stores. The lifestyle complex also contains a 16-screen movie theater, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and many other well-known restaurants and smaller eateries. Pier Park is the perfect destination for families, couples, kids...everyone! The Russell-Fields Pier, also known as the City Pier, opened to the public July 4th 2009 and is located on Front Beach Road across the street from Pier Park/Aaron Bessant Park.
