If you are looking to find out everything there is to see and do in Panama City, Florida you have come to the right place. The location is just a hop, skip and a jump from the beautiful St. Andrews Marina and set in an area that has something for everyone. The staff here has great knowledge of the area, tons of informative brochures and a website that is both visually appealing and easy to navigate. They have information on everything from 5k's to festivals to concerts, to the local arts scene to the best places to eat and hang out. When you come to PC it really needs to be your first stop before you start roaming around. It is also a great website to help plan your visit to Panama City before you ever set foot in Bay County.

We rarely stop at Visitor's Centers when we travel but this is our first trip to this part of Florida and I'm really glad we stopped here. The young lady was very helpful and provided great suggestions, including great restaurant recommendations (Finns and Enzo's Pizza - both were really good). It is in an old bank, which is cool but they also have a bathroom, which was a blessing.

Bay County has a lot to offer people who come to visit one of the top ranked tourist communities in the U.S.A. As an event coordinator, I am continously asked by attendees at events: "So what's going on the rest of my vacation?"
I promise you, a visit to Destination Panama City in Historic St. Andrews will provide you all the options you could ever want for exploring our piece of paradise. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with real time updates on trending events, must-see local history, and advice catered to your interests.
Restaurant recommendations? DPC has you covered? Want to attend a local event? DPC has real-time listings and advice on parking and visiting the venue. Are you a history buff? DPC can share outdoor and indoor landmarks to explore. I could go on forever, but if you are visiting our little corner of the world, a stop at 1000 Beck Ave should be at the top of the checklist for what do in the 850.

I love stopping by Destination PC to find out what cool event is going on in the area! The staff is always friendly and helpful and they have the best chairs and sunlight on a cool day. A historic building put to wonderful use - and a "must drop in" location when looking for something fun to do in Panama City!

This building used to be the town bank. They have restored it completely to resemble the original building. Bouts of history throughout the building are interesting to look at and read. Staff was very helpful and friendly to talk to. Definitely stop here if you’re in the area.
