The Beach Lover's Beach is home to one of the country's largest sport fishing fleets and boats multi-talented captains and crews. Visitors can chose from a 16 foot skiff to fish the shallowest flat or a million dollar spot fishing yacht to explore offshore hot spots in luxurious comfort. Panama City Beach has miles of pristine beaches, hundreds of acres of wadeable flats and three fishing peirs extending into the Gulf of Mexico.

Fishing enthusiasts visiting Panama City Beach will not leave the resort area empty-handed. The clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews Bay are teeming with fish. Anglers can test their fishing versatility by fly casting for redfish in St. Andrews Bay, trolling the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico for a regal blue marlin or playing tug or war with a feisty red snapper in one of the area's numerous wrecks and artifical reefs.
