I love the perfect climate that encompasses Panama City, Florida. Year round, it stays pretty much the same weather. 65-74 degrees encompasses perfect weather. My favorite part of Panama City is the Marina that provides a lot of water access for boats.

As i look for entertainment in the city, I can't help but turn toward all of the arts and theater in the city. There are a lot to choose from. Other than arts and performances, grabbing a boat and heading out on the water can be relaxing too.

Panama City Florida is a great, quiet place to start or raise a family. The housing market is competitive and well liked. Although all types of food are available, it is easiest to find a perfect seafood dish.

Most of Panama City Florida is centered around the water and it's personality. This is a great city to live in and great to visit if you have a love of water. Plan on spending time on or near the water.
