Panama City Beach, FL -
You're going to drink, you're going to dance, you know this... but do you know where? Let TripSmarter.Com help you out... we've been to all the clubs on the beach, and here are some recommendations...
Spinnaker
Beach Club
The World Famous Beach Club Spinnaker is one of the two Super Clubs on Panama
City Beach. Host of X Marks The Spot!, Verizon Wireless' "The Event"
and much more - lots of people have won thousands in cash and prizes, including
PS2, MP3 players, CK clothing and more. Also hosted National Lampoon's Van
Wilder After-Party with Tara Reid and Ryan Reynolds, E! TV Wild on
Spring Break, and much more in the past few years. Already famous for
bringing the best live entertainment to the Beach, Spinnaker will have 2
stages going strong in 2009 - don't miss concerts on the DV8 deck... just
past the Groove Room and below the VIP room! Check out our Spinnaker
Spring Break video vault clip!

Club
La Vela
A Super Club if ever there was one, Club La Vela (the Largest Nightclub
in the USA) is bikini contests, male hard-body contests, and wet
t-shirt contests. MTV, E!TV, Playboy centerfolds, concerts with
Master P, Mystikal, Bubba Sparkxx, Aerosmith, STP, Black Eyed
Peas
and JACKASS were some of the highlights of past Spring Breaks!
And YES, they will be open for Spring Break '09!
Schooners
The Last Local Beach Club is a welcome diversion from the usual
Spring Break scene. The crowds tend to be a bit older, and the activities
aren't so... well, uninhibited. It's also a great place to grab
seafood while you're on the beach...
Boatyard
Enjoy the scenery of Grand Lagoon while munching on authentic Caribbean
cuisine! Friday night upstairs at Boatyard has quickly become a
tradition among the 20 something locals. Live music and great drink
specials!
Hammerhead
Fred's
Hammerhead Fred's is the ultimate college bar... great draft beer prices,
hot wings, college ball on big screens, and foam parties! Located across
the street from the superclubs (you can't miss the giant white party tent!).

Fred's Spring Break video vault clip!
Sharky's
Beach Club - ???
Will they be open for SB'09? Rumors are floating around, but we'll
leave 'em on the list for now... at least until they start to
tear
down the building. Long live The Beach Bash!
Harpoon
Harry's - Updated!
Looks like Harpoon Harry's will be around for another year or two. A Spring
Break favorite, Harry's is just like your favorite college bar back home.
Always packed. Always jumpin'. And always fun. They'll have lots of exciting
stuff going on during the day, but the nighttime action is what makes Harry's
one of the best bars during Spring Break.

Harry's Spring Break video vault clip!
Latitude's
- ???
Latitude's is another club that has an unsure future. The building is still
there, the sign is still there... so everyone is holding out hope that they
will be open for SB'09. If you've ever attended one of their late-night
Wet T-Shirt contests, you know what we're talking about. Check out our Latitude's
Spring Break video vault clip!
Calypso
Beach Cafe
Those of you staying on the West end of the Beach now have another
great place to party without having to drive through all that traffic!
Located a little West of Sharky's. Very convenient for all you crazies
staying at the Sandpiper. That is... if you can peel yourself away
from the Tiki Hut!
Rock 'It
Lanes
Bowling, billiards, arcades, food & drinks, ice skating....
what?! Ice skating? Yes, ice skating! Go see for yourself! Well,
the ice skating has been replaced by roller skating... but it's
still a nice place to hang out... especially if the weather is not
cooperating.
Pineapple
Willy's
Pineapple Willy's is ribs, sports on big screens, Fat Tuesday Daiquiris
that'll start your day off right! Did we say big screens? How about
a 10-foot screen! Now that's the way to watch a game! Best place
to watch some hoops during March Madness!
Coyote
Ugly
Think of hot women dancing on table tops... just like the movie!
This place was a big hit for Spring Break last year. Visit our Panama
City Nightlife section and scroll down to see a video of Coyote
Ugly.
Ms.
Newby's
Newby's has been around... well... pretty much forever. Famous for their
knock you down but oh-so-smooth Hunch Punch, Newby's has recently expanded
and now has a huge outdoor deck for dancing and live entertainment. During
the normal season, you'll find all walks of life at Newby's... from local
students to doctors to bikers. But we're betting 2009 will be Newby's breakout
year for Spring Break. Long revered as a locals' secret, the word has spread
over the past couple years and Newby's is looking like it will be a major
hotspot for SB'09!
