Panama City Beach in January
Spent 4 days in Panama City Beach in early January, and was pleasantly surprised. My first trip to the panhandle of Florida as we normally go further south. We visited a couple of days with Sherrie's parents, and then spent 2 days at the Holiday Inn Resort Hotel. The view from hotel balcony gives one the impression of Hawaii. Very picturesque place, and one I would visit again for sure. While January is certainly their off season it was a very quite time to visit. The prices of the hotel was also very reasonable. Lots of shops, restaurants, movie theater and a variety of things to do. I'm sure during Spring Beak I wouldn't dare visit, but most times of the year this would be a fun place to vacation. In the evening the hotel had a pool-side movie playing on a big screen they pull up as soon as it gets dark. Even had a decent view of it from the balcony. Waking up and sipping coffee on the balcony overlooking the ocean was also a highlight. General
