Snowbirds Flock to Panama City Beach!

Panama City Beach, FL -
Snowbirds flocking to Panama City Beach? What's this, some new species of duck migrating south? Not exactly. Very simply, Snowbirds are Northern retirees who winter in the warmth of the southern United States. Most of Panama City Beach's "winter residents," as the Snowbirds are also known, come from the Midwest and Canada.

It was with this simple idea - to provide a social gathering for the many Snowbirds who winter in Panama City Beach - that businesses on the Beach began to cater to this very important and often overlooked group.

This part of the Gulf Coast is particularly stunning, with its famous sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-colored Gulf waters. That slight difference in average temperatures means that PCB experiences actual seasons, with a sunny, mild fall and a dry, cool winter, that spills into an early and spectacular spring.

By late January and early February, the Beach is a riot of color as the sub-tropical plants explode into rich blossoms and expansive vegetation. Panama City Beach has many features that recommend it to Snowbirds beyond the weather, of course.

Many Beach restaurants and attractions are extending their service into the winter months, and the area hosts a wide range of festivals during this time. From the Holiday Holly Fair to three Mardi Gras celebrations.

And, unlike south Florida, Panama City Beach is close enough to other parts of the South to make day- and weekend-trips feasible.

All in all, Panama City Beach is the perfect location for our Snowbirds to spend their winter months. The weather, the activities, the hospitality, the easy access to other southern destinations... it all adds up to perfection!
