This winter, there’s nothing better than spending the holidays in Panama City Beach! You might think you can’t have a special traditional Christmas celebration if you’re not at home, but that really couldn’t be further from the truth. You can still enjoy all your favorite holiday traditions and activities from the shores of sunny Florida. Here are some of our top reasons why you should start searching for places to stay in Panama City Beach this holiday season!
Better Weather
Throughout much of the United States, temperatures are unbearably cold during the holiday season. However, the weather in Panama City Beach is still warm and is much more preferable to those insane blizzards! For the month of December, Panama City Beach sees average high temperatures around 65 degrees and average lows around 47 degrees.
While you still might need long pants and a jacket in the mornings and evenings, these temperatures are still warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities while you’re in town. Granted, it’s probably going to be too cold for you to take a dip in the Gulf, but you can certainly enjoy a stroll down the shoreline! Plus, the area is full of fun indoor activities for you to experience if the outdoors are a touch too cold for your taste.
Fun Events
Perhaps the best part of spending Christmas in Panama City Beach is all the exciting events! You can experience all the best traditional holiday celebrations right on the Florida shores. Christmastime events can vary from year to year, but you can always expect holiday celebrations that you know and love.
Local organizations will perform Christmas music throughout the season at events like the Bay Wind Community Band’s Christmas Concert or Strolling Dickens Carolers. You can’t have the holidays without a parade, and the Optimist Club holds an excellent Christmas Parade in Pier Park every year! You can also come out to experience the annual Bethlehem Christmas Village, get your pictures taken with Santa, and all the other fun things to do in Panama City Beach surrounding the holidays.
Enjoy the Off-Season
Since summertime is the peak season for visitors to Panama City Beach, rental prices tend to be incredibly high during June, July, and August. In the winter, however, the city doesn’t see quite as many tourists. Traveling during the slow season actually brings you two benefits: having smaller crowds to deal with and saving money on your rental.
There’s nothing worse than going on vacation and having to fight the crowds at every attraction. But by visiting PCB in the wintertime, you won’t have to worry about that! The other big bonus to traveling in winter is the savings.
