Gulf views make some of the best restaurants in Panama City Beach even better. After a long day in the water or shops, sit back and enjoy open-air, casual dining as you watch the sun set and the fishing fleets come in.
You may find it hard to believe that a little place like Panama City Beach could earn the nickname “Seafood Capital of the World,” but one taste of our char-grilled grouper (it flakes onto your fork) or fresh, plump Apalachicola oysters (still harvested by hand from shallow, wild beds) and you’ll know why.
Seafood restaurants in Panama City Beach prepare some of the finest seafood you’ll ever find, whether it’s jumbo Gulf shrimp stuffed with buttery blue crab, Cajun crawfish or blackened Amberjack.
