Forget the necktie—this year, give Dad the gift of sunshine, sand, and seriously good times. Whether he's a grill master, fisherman, golfer, or just really into naps by the ocean, Panama City Beach is the place to celebrate Father's Day the fun way.

Beachfront Places to Stay Treat Dad to a Gulf view and easy beach access at one of our laid-back hotels:

Dad-Approved Activities in PCB

  • Fishing Charters – Whether he prefers casting from the pier or heading offshore for the big one, Panama City Beach has endless options for anglers. Check out Adventures at Sea and be sure to ask about exclusive discounts for By the Sea Resorts guests.

  • Golfing – Tee off at one of several beautiful nearby courses, including Signal Hill or Holiday Golf Club.

  • Craft Beer + Cocktails – Raise a glass to Dad with a beachfront drink at Barefoot Hide-A-Way or a cold beer from a local brewery.

  • Beach Bonfires – Free for By the Sea Resorts guests, our bonfires are the perfect way to end a Father's Day with toes in the sand and s'mores in hand.

  • Grill + Chill – Pick up some local seafood or burgers and grill it up at one of our hotels' outdoor BBQ areas.

  • Summer Concert Series at Aaron Bessant Park – Every Thursday in summer, enjoy free live music in the park. It's a fun, relaxed way to treat Dad to a night out (and did we mention it's free?).
