Downtown Panama City

Downtown Panama City balances historic charm with waterfront beauty along St. Andrews Bay. The Victorian-era McKenzie House and brick-faced Martin Theatre showcase the area's rich past. Stroll along waterfront promenades where pelicans dive and sailboats bob in emerald waters, or catch rotating exhibitions at the Panama City Center for the Arts.

Boutique hotels in restored buildings and historic bed & breakfasts offer personalized stays with period furnishings. The compact downtown core is easily walkable with brick sidewalks connecting attractions, shops, and the marina.

The historic district's Victorian buildings and the restored 1913 Panama City Publishing Company Museum showcase the neighborhood's rich heritage. Stroll waterfront paths with Gulf Coast views, browse the farmers market for local seafood, or watch boats bobbing in St. Andrews Marina. Fresh Gulf seafood stars at casual waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy grouper sandwiches with bay views. Boutique inns and historic bed & breakfasts in restored Victorian homes offer personalized service. The walkable core connects the marina, shops, and tree-lined streets, making it perfect for leisurely exploration.

Bunkers Cove gives you a front-row seat to St. Andrews Bay without the tourist chaos. This upscale residential area lets you live like a well-heeled local with waterfront views and peaceful streets perfect for evening strolls. When you're ready to explore, the Cove Shopping Center, Visual Arts Center, and Martin Theatre are just minutes away. Getting around requires wheels—bring your car or budget for rideshares to reach Panama City's restaurants and attractions.

Quiet mornings watching boats drift by and the perfect launch spot for kayaking adventures.

Scenic streets lead to St. Andrews Bay, where calm waters invite fishing and kayaking adventures. Mature oak trees create natural canopies over residential roads, offering glimpses of waterfront views and quiet places to unwind. Accommodations range from budget-friendly vacation rentals to modest bed & breakfasts, all at prices that won't break the bank. Though dining options are limited within the neighborhood, you're just a short drive from Panama City's restaurants. A car is recommended since public transit is minimal, but the trade-off is authentic local charm.

Gulf Coast Development
