Our Shopping Experience

One of the most relaxing things to do after a long day at the beach is to stroll along the storefronts of Pier Park. Though this is one of the more popular shopping districts of the city, it is just one of the many places to find exactly what you are looking for during your beach stay.

Maybe you’re on a mission to find the perfect outfit for the coming night; or you’re window shopping with a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe and holding the hand of your significant other. No matter what the occasion, a leisurely tour around the various shopping venues of PCB is a great way to spend a morning, evening, or even a full day.

Hot spots like Pier Park, Grand Panama Beach Resort, and various other specialty shopping areas offer a multitude of products from clothing and music to bath and garden supplies. A perfect blend of comfort and style, Panama City Beach offers all the conveniences of city shopping while retaining that laid back beach atmosphere.

    Olan Mills Portrait Studio

    Armed with an army of innovative and certified shutterbugs, Olan Mills Portrait Studio provides families with high-quality portraits, continuing a mission that was established more than 75 years ago by founder Olan Mills Sr. Skilled in the art of capturing infants, children, families, and bunny-ears-giving ghost orbs on film, Olan Mills’s experienced smile snappers will take a series of poses amid a variety of backgrounds and lighting options. The studio is equipped with a selection of props—including numbers for birthdays, toys, and boxes—and patrons may bring their own photo-enlivening items from home. The resulting photos find their way to prints in natural color, black and white, or sepia tones; they can also be immortalized in the studio's signature Old Masters style, a canvas brushed with highlights to recreate look of an oil painting. Like the gentlemanly mariners of ages past with their full schedule of sea-battles, the photographers welcome appointments, but do not require them.

  • $29 for $80 Worth of Wine from Barclay's Wine$29 for $80 Worth of Wine from Barclay's Wine

    Wines work best when properly paired: reds go with beef, whites go with fish, and champagnes go with cups made out of upturned party hats. Impersonate a sommelier with this Groupon: for $29, you get $80 worth of wine from Barclay's Wine, an online shop that will deliver directly to your home or office. This deal is good for new, current, and previous Barclay's customers.

    Offering vintages from a host of regions and styles, Barclay's Wine breaks down the borders that separate winemakers from customers through home delivery of the world's top varietals. A staff of well-traveled oenophiles travels the globe, distilling knowledge about superior vintages and the individuals that make them into an online database searchable by style, varietal, region, winery, or price range. Line wine-cellar walls for less than $15 a bottle, stocking up on easy-drinking 2011 New World chardonnay ($13.95) or 2010 Kiyapura ($13.95), forged from robust Chilean grapes that cliff-dive off the Andes in the off-season.

    Experts can offer subtle and standout bottles with a slightly higher price tag, or combine vast collections into mixed cases that bring together representatives from a stellar vineyard or collections of staff favorites. Customers can also apply the value of this Groupon to a Wine Experience, which comes with 12 bottles, specific tasting notes, and a Magic Decanter (an additional $49.95 plus $19.95 for shipping). Thorough online descriptions add a backstory to each wine offered, revealing flavor notes, growing condition of its grapes, and anecdotes from the elderly raisins that helped to raise them.
