Whenever I head to a new place I love to explore everything the area has to offer. My mom has lived in Panama City Beach for almost three years and there are still SO MANY things we haven’t done yet! My brother and I came down to visit her for Mother’s Day so I decided to surprise them with a Sunset Sail on a catamaran with Paradise Adventures. The catamaran leaves from the pier at the Sheraton Panama City Beach Golf & Spa Resort which is in such a picturesque area. We arrive

This cool and casual beach town offers more of a low-key stay than the other towns along Scenic 30A. You will find cozy cottages next to more modern villas and the largest beach access of all of the towns. While we only visited Inlet Beach for a quick dinner on two different occasions, I could definitely see myself returning to explore more!

An outdoor amphitheater is often the site of concerts in the summer and Seaside's famous airstream trailer

Alys Beach is perhaps one of the most visually stunning towns I have visited in a long time! The sugar-white sand and turquoise waters are complimented by a carefully crafted world in which all of the homes and buildings are whitewashed and nestled in the palm trees. You will find secluded courtyards, wide open green spaces, and beautiful entryways as you explore the stone-paved streets. Alys Beach is definitely an unforgettable oasis. EAT Charlie’s Donut Tru

Remember when I said the best way to beat the winter blues is to take a vacation to some place warm?! WELL, luckily my mom moved down to Panama City Beach, Florida at the end of last year so I was able to take a nice week long vacation to visit her! Panama City Beach is absolutely beautiful, especially at this time of year when you essentially have all of the beaches to yourself! I am going to divide my vacation up into a few different posts with activities, restaurants, and
