Are you tired of the cold that seems to linger way into spring? We don’t blame you! Spring should be a time for flowers, rain showers, bright blue skies, and warm temperatures. Make sure you can get a tan, spend time outside, walk around the beach early in the morning, and relax on the beach with a trip to the famous Panama City Beach this upcoming spring season. Forget going skiing in April or sitting inside as the wind roars outside of your window – go to PCB to enjoy a wholesome and healthy Easter in Panama City Beach! Let’s check out the top things to do in Panama City Beach during your upcoming holiday that ensure you and your guests have the best vacay possible.
Easter Brunch
One of the big hits for why people enjoy Easter so much is brunch, of course! Everybody loves brunch, and restaurants in PCB sure do love rolling out the red carpet with new brunch plates, buffets, and good vibes. We recommend going to Schooners Last Local Beach Club to have a filling Easter brunch; you can also stay late into the night to listen to live music, go dancing, and enjoy a few drinks specials. Talk about the perfect place for an all-day excursion!
Another good spot for Easter brunch is Another Broken Egg Cafe. This brunch and lunch spot features Southern-inspired dishes that are sure to give you a little kick of spice, satisfy your sweet tooth, or give you just enough caffeine in your coffee to keep you going all day long. We recommend getting the famous shrimp n’ grits, a plate piled high with gulf shrimp and andouille sausage, red peppers, onions, and cream cheese egrets. Or, if you would rather have something a bit “healthier,” try the Eggs Blackstone Benedict with an English muffin, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, bacon, green onions, and fresh country potatoes.
Easter Egg Hunt
Easter is a family holiday, so if you have your kids with you in PCB, chances are they are going to want to go on an Easter egg hunt! We recommend going to Frank Brown Park on the morning of April 16th to enjoy spending quality time with your children, hunting for easter eggs, and getting in some exercise on a beautiful morning along the coastline. Bring your kids aged 10 and under to participate in this family-friendly activity – and snap a few photos to put in your scrapbook!
Panama City Beach is a warm place all year round. When thinking about taking a trip for Christmas, it may not be the first place that comes to mind. Instead of staying somewhere drab and dreary for the holiday season, why not go somewhere a bit warmer where you can enjoy the longer days, head outside in the cool mornings for a nice walk or run, and still take part in the Christmas festivities. That is why PCB is THE ideal spot for a family Christmas vacation, couple’s getaway, or solo retreat during the holiday season! Let’s check out the best Christmas activities in Panama City Beach during December.
Fun Christmas Things to Do in Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is home to dozens of beaches, outdoor activities, fun events, and friendly locals who will make for the ideal holiday destination. Unlike other spots in the U.S. that can become too cold or too crowded, PCB offers a nice and relaxing getaway with warm weather — what more could you want to wake up to on Christmas Day?
Breakfast at Dave and Buster’s
If you have to go to Panama City Beach with your kids, then you must go to Dave and Buster’s for some arcade and family-oriented fun! Head here during the Christmas season to have breakfast with Santa, play some games, and take some photos with Santa & Mrs. Claus that you are never going to forget! Not only do you get discounts for the games, but you can get a mouthwatering breakfast that will keep you full for hours.
Check Out Christmas at The Barn
If you would rather do something a bit more low-key than heading to Dave and Busters, going to The Barn on Hutchinson Boulevard in PCB is the best idea for those who want something a bit more adult-friendly. Forget the games and the kids running around — head to The Barn on December 3rd between 6 pm and 9 pm to enjoy strong cocktails, ice-cold drinks, and live music that is going to keep you on your feet and dancing the night away! For just $30, you can enjoy this winter wonderland and socialize with other young people that could end up turning into lifelong friends.
Watch the Christmas Tree Lighting
We love going to the Christmas tree lighting at Panama City Beach Parkway at 6 pm on December 5th to see the trees light up in the bright sky! Not only can you see the incredible display, but you can listen to local musicians, check out the widespread Christmas decorations, and get in the holiday spirit with the locals who live here all year round.
Get a Front-Row spot at the Christmas Parade
Not only is the Christmas parade a great way to keep the kids entertained for a few hours, but you can check out amazing decorations, mingle with other people, and really get in the holiday cheer spirit! Head to Pier Park and pay absolutely nothing to watch this incredible spectacle down the streets of PCB.
Visit the Bethlehem Christmas Village
Another fun half-day or full-day outing that you can do during your time in Panama City beach is going to the Bethlehem Christmas Village at Captain Andersons’ Marina in Panama City. Head here any day between the 14th and 17th of December to enjoy a family-friendly activity.
We love heading here in the evening after an early dinner between 5:30 pm and 8:30 pm to see a realistic renovation of what the housing of Mary and Joseph was like in times past. Not only is this educational, but it can be a fun day outside in the crisp winter weather!

Generally held on the day before Easter, the fun includes eggs, candy, and pictures with the big hopper himself! Schooners Restaurant is also scheduled to do their own egg hunt on the weekend of Easter, offering much of the same things you will find at the park, with the addition of Easter mimosas for all the adults in your party! And finally, for those who prefer to stay home and avoid the crowds, your Vacations Perfected sanctuary offers plenty of places to hide those pesky little eggs!
