THE COAST WITH THE MOST Wyndham Panama City
When you book with Wyndham Panama City, you know your vacation will most certainly take you beyond our resort’s sugar-white sandy beaches and glistening emerald waters. And, because we are centrally located near a myriad of theme parks, restaurants, and more along St. Andrews Bay, the best and easiest way to explore the area is on foot (although it’s good to keep in mind the free Bay Town Trolley Transit System that services the center of town, too).
DAY 1: TAKE A HIKE at Wyndham Panama City
Beyond the marina and small boutiques lies St. Andrews Park, 1,200 acres of gorgeous, less-developed shoreline that truly has something for everyone! Boasting both leisure and thrill-seeking activities and full camping facilities, you will be treated to Pinewood Forest’s winding Heron Pond hiking trail through sand dunes and near-deserted picturesque beaches. Nearby Gator Lake Trail has incredible lakeside views and wildlife spotting so close you’ll want binoculars handy to view ibis, alligators, deer, and wading herons in their natural habitat. In Grand Lagoon near the rugged coastal landscapes of Shell Island, undersea adventures await when you scuba dive or snorkel with, study the marine life of, and even fish for plentiful mackerel, sea trout, bluefish, and flounder. On a clear morning, you can even spot wild dolphins breaching the smooth waters of St. Andrews Bay!
Whether on foot or in the water, Wyndham Panama City offers the most memorable local adventures for guests of all ages!

Day 2: “WATER” YOU WAITING FOR?
Imagine 3 million gallons of cool water that you can slide down, splash under, float down, swim in, raft through, or simply relax in a tropical-themed amusement paradise. For heart-pumping slides and chutes, lazy rivers and shallow pools look no further than Shipwreck Island Waterpark! This 20-acre attraction features lush landscaping, and a professionally trained aquatics staff and is home to The Great Shipwreck, a replica of a 17th-century sailing ship that ran aground here many years ago!

Buckle up with the whole family to brave the White Knuckle River’s splashy twists and turns! For our littlest travelers, they’ll hop right up to The Tadpole Hole for giggly waterslide rides and even an old submarine is known as “The Silly Sub!” If adventure has a name, it must be Shipwreck Island Waterpark!
Grab your swimsuit and beach towel when you head over to Northern Florida’s top water attraction: Shipwreck Island Waterpark!
It’s been quite a day at the park. You’re more than likely exhausted, a bit waterlogged, and altogether hungry. Before heading home to the comforts of Wyndham Panama City, why not consider a bite to eat from a great selection of the park’s convenient eateries? From burgers to salads to ice cream, Shipwreck Island Waterpark offers tasty dishes and cold drinks that you’ll enjoy even if you don’t take in one of the amazing rides. The park’s food and beverages are THAT good!
DAY 3: WINDING DOWN WITH WYNDHAM
Being centrally located has more than its share of benefits. For adventure and fun for the entire family, it means the nearby welcoming atmosphere of Coconut Creek Family Fun Park! Sink that putt in the clown’s mouth during a round of miniature golf or lower your handicap on either of the park’s two 18-hole golf courses. Take in the natural beauty of a tropical jungle of native plants, birds and flowing streams. Or, test your navigational skills to find the four checkpoints to complete the football field-sized Gran Maze.
At Coconut Creek, there’s family fun in the sun for everyone!
Walking the course or navigating through an endless maze is sure to help build up any appetite. Before turning in for the night in your cozy Wyndham Panama City suite, why not venture out nearby for the best oyster experience in Panama City Beach at Shuckums Oyster Pub and Seafood Grill? If it’s 40 traditional and tasty ice cream flavors you seek for the little ones, then order up a milkshake or Cookie Monster Sundae from area favorite Pink Pelican Ice Cream Bar.
If your oldest child doesn’t mind watching your youngest, then leave all cares behind for the unique experience that is Firefly. This award-winning, casual/fine-dining Mediterranean bistro features fresh Gulf seafood, steaks, and signature cocktails all served under a real grand oak tree. A library-themed lounge and premier wine club add to an atmosphere that’s truly one-of-a-kind!
