Panama City Beach Spring Break Week 1

Spring Break, Tourism 2 Minutes

It’s that time of year again.  The weather’s warming, the sand is beckoning and college students and families alike are getting spring-fever!  Our beaches are filling up this week and starting in two weeks we’ll have a full load of tourists bathing in our sun, spending their money in our businesses and reminding us all which industry really is king in Northwest Florida.

Panama City Beach Spring Break is upon us!

Before I even begin, I’d like to give a huge shout-out and special thanks to our friends over at Tripsmarter who have graciously given us permission to use some of the information they provide every year to their spring break audience.  All of the information I am publishing in this post can also be found over on their site, in their Panama City Beach Spring Break section.

  1. Jason, that is certainly a lot of College Kids that may be heading to PCB…… didn’t realize there were so many. I see lots of activities for them are planned. Hope they all have a great “Spring Break”, enjoy themselves, be responsible and most of all…. stay safe!
