South Walton’s neighbor to the east, Panama City Beach features the same sparkling, aquamarine waters and sugar sand yet a completely different feel than the South Walton Beaches.  Offering high rise condominiums and hotels, beach front oyster bars and seafood restaurants, and tourist attractions such as Pier Park, Panama City Beach is bustling with activity and people.  Bordered by Camp Helen State Park and St. Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach offers abundant natural beauty and is known as the Wreck Capital of the South because of its large number of historic wrecks for scuba diving exploration.  Panama City Beach also boasts one of the country’s largest sport fishing fleets.
