Panama City Beach is legendary for its 27 miles of white sandy beaches and as a vacation destination. With plenty of hotels, restaurants and bars it has been a mecca for Spring Breakers for decades.

This Florida Panhandle trip that for us started in Key West has finally reached the western end of the state at Pensacola and as any good Jimmy Buffett fan would do, we stayed at the new Margaritaville Beach Hotel on Pensacola Beach. Situated on 800’ of gulf front beach property with 162 guest rooms, this is probably the best appointed hotel we have ever stayed at. And that’s not just Parrot Head talk either.
