Gulf Life Real Estate has picked the top 7 locations to watch fireworks this year in Panama City Beach. Check out our list and see if you agree or maybe suggest your favorite spot.
Panama City Beach offers several great spots to watch fireworks, especially during holidays like the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve. Here are some of the best places:
- Pier Park: This is one of the most popular spots. Pier Park often hosts fireworks displays during major holidays, and the beach area provides a fantastic view.
- City Pier / Russell-Fields Pier: Located near Pier Park, this pier offers a great vantage point for fireworks displays over the Gulf of Mexico.
- Schooners Beach Club: Known as the “Last Local Beach Club,” Schooners often hosts fireworks shows. You can enjoy the display right from the beach.
- St. Andrews State Park: This park provides a more natural setting for watching fireworks. You can set up a picnic and enjoy the display from the beach or from one of the park’s pavilions.
- Panama City Marina: Although it’s technically in Panama City, not Panama City Beach, the marina offers a great view of fireworks over St. Andrews Bay.
- M.B. Miller County Pier: Also known as the County Pier, this spot provides another excellent beachfront location for fireworks viewing.
- Local Restaurants and Bars: Many beachfront restaurants and bars, such as Sharky’s Beachfront Restaurant or Runaway Island, host their own fireworks shows or offer great views of public displays.
Remember to arrive early to secure a good spot, as these locations can get crowded during major events.
