January 5, 2010 – Panama City Beach, the quintessential Northwest Fla. resort destination and “REAL.FUN.BEACH.,” town is making it easy for would-be spring breakers to escape their palm tree-laden screensavers in favor of the real thing. A dedicated Spring Break tab on the destination’s Web site showcases the latest breaking updates for students, including
value deals and accommodations packages, entertainment, dining, beach parties and
celebrity appearances. More than 500,000 visitors flock Panama City Beach’s 27 miles
of white sand beaches in March alone, making it one of the country’s top getaways for
Spring Break.

“We’re open and ready for Spring Break bookings and in fact, we recommend
planning early this year,” said Dan Rowe, president/CEO of the Panama City Beach
Convention & Visitors Bureau. “As one of only a handful of destinations that
experienced an increase in visitation for 2009, we anticipate sellout crowds during the
Spring Break period in 2010.”

Spring Break value packages are available now for booking with offers from
assorted beachfront hotels and condos. The destination known for award-winning
beaches, sun and value also offers vibrant dining and nightlife, another popular
attraction for the Spring Break crowd. For daylight hours, Panama City Beach offers an
array of recreational activities such as jet skiing, parasailing, deep sea fishing, kayaking
and canoeing while land lubbers will find adventure at St. Andrews State Park or at any
of the destination’s myriad golf courses. For shoppers, Pier Park offers 900,000 square
feet of retail stores including Dillard’s, Target, Ron Jon Surf Shop, Old Navy, Hollister
and Beach Scene, a popular surf and sundries shop with a coveted collection of
swimwear to complete the Spring Break look.
