Playing at Pier Park

From where we are staying in Panama City Beach, we can walk in the sand on the beach with the water brushing our feet to the City Pier (only a mile away).

Once at the Pier we can enter the Boardwalk at the wonderful Pier Park ... here the streets are lined with unique shops, plenty of places to stop for some refreshments and eats, there is the Grand 16 - plex movie Theatre, a midway for the kids, and you'll also find an outdoor shopping mall.

It has something for everyone ..

It is a fun place on a sunny day when you need a break from lazing on the beach or on a cloudy, not so great beach day ... and for a Movie date on rainy days.

                                           

It's a colourful place ...

Located in the heart of Panama City Beach, Pier Park offers many options to entertain you ...

We even pretended to be Elton John and Elliot Gould on the pianos at Rum Runners.

 

A Road Trip

#Panhandle#Panama City Beach #Florida#RumRunnersUSA#Bruce#PoncedeLeon#Alabama#GulfofMexico

Escaping Southwestern Ontario's winter took us on a long road trip travelling southwest thru the USA to the Florida Panhandle.

Our travels took us a different route and thru several areas of the U.S.A that were new to us.

Even a tiny village named "Bruce" ... that is our family name ...( located about a half hour from Panama City Beach )

 ... which had it had it's own Cafe and General Store. 

After two and a half days on the road ... We arrived at our intended destination to cloudy skies.

We located our condo on the Front Beach Road, we were too early for checkin so we oriented ourselves with the immediate area.

We enjoyed some light fare and refreshments at Rum Runners (at Pier Park more about this in another post)  before doing a quick grocery pickup and checking in to the condo.

The views from our condo ...

                  

A new place to discover ... 

I think we will find enough to keep us busy even if it is just long walks along the beach on the soft white sand.
