Staying on Top of Panama City Beach

How long has it been since you have visited the historic Grand Lagoon area of Panama City Beach? With so many exciting new developments on the beach’s west end it’s easy to forget the traditional, picturesque community that has been charming vacationers and locals alike for years. This bridge community has gone from strength to strength, even after the devastating loss of the Treasure Ship back in 2010. Today Grand Lagoon comprises of dining, attractions and activities for all tastes and budgets, including both long-time favorites and brand new names – and here’s your chance to discover it all at once! The first annual Grand Lagoon Open House is taking place this Saturday, May 4th, 2013 starting at 8:00 a.m. The festivities will no doubt continue into the wee hours, with almost 20 businesses offering giveaways, mini-events and special offers within their establishments. Captain Anderson’s Marina will kick off the fun at 8:00 a.m. with a tour of the Gemini Queen and North Star deep sea fishing boats. ...

Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt in Panama City Beach is one of those places that you’ve either stopped by a dozen times already or that you’ve never even noticed.  Situated in the Shoppes at Beckrich (with Firehouse Subs and the Verizon Store) this heavenly haven of deliciousness is actually the most popular frozen yogurt brand in the world and in my opinion, quite rightly so. The store itself couldn’t be any more inviting. Cheery, colorful and almost whimsical, the sheer number of options upon entering is mind boggling and you almost don’t know where to look or where to start! First you get to choose your flavor/s.
