City Beach Panama
City Beach is legendary wordwide for its beautiful, soft white sand beaches
framed by the sparkling blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Watersports
are the big thing here -- boating, jetski, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba
and waterskiing opportunities are plentiful. The diving is especially
superb, in fact, Conde Nast Traveler rated Panama City Beach as number
one in the country. The area recieves visitors year round with average
temperatures in the 70s, and the height of the
tourist season is March through October. Local attractions and amusement
parks are at their peak between Memorial day and Labor day. Mild temperatures
produce a wide range of lush tropical and sub-tropical vegetation.Attractions in the area include Gulf World, featuring a shark tank, parrots aplenty and bottlenose dolphins performing four times daily.
