Downtown Panama City

Downtown Panama City balances historic charm with waterfront beauty along St. Andrews Bay. The Victorian-era McKenzie House and brick-faced Martin Theatre showcase the area's rich past.

The compact downtown core is easily walkable with brick sidewalks connecting attractions, shops, and the marina.

The historic district's Victorian buildings and the restored 1913 Panama City Publishing Company Museum showcase the neighborhood's rich heritage. Stroll waterfront paths with Gulf Coast views, browse the farmers market for local seafood, or watch boats bobbing in St. Andrews Marina. Fresh Gulf seafood stars at casual waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy grouper sandwiches with bay views. Boutique inns and historic bed & breakfasts in restored Victorian homes offer personalized service. The walkable core connects the marina, shops, and tree-lined streets, making it perfect for leisurely exploration.
