How to Plan a Budget-Friendly Summer Trip to Panama City Beach, Florida

Dreaming of a beach getaway this summer, but not quite sure if you can afford it? If you travel to Panama City Beach, you may just find a beach getaway is far more affordable than you think, with lots of properties offering great deals on stays this summer, and plenty of activities that are free or affordable.

Above and beyond all this, though, Panama City Beach uniquely has its own destination savings program, where you can find exclusive deals and discounts; it should be your first stop when planning a budget-friendly summer (or anytime!) trip to Panama City Beach.

For example, some of the deals travelers found recently include up to 20 percent off nightly rates at the destination’s Embassy Suites by Hilton, 15 percent off nightly guestroom rates at Hampton Inn & Suites Panama City Beach, and 25 percent off guestroom rates at Springhill Suites by Marriott. Whether looking for dining, accommodations or activities, you can search for deals on all of the above via the program’s easy-to-use platform.

And if those already free or affordable activities mentioned above particularly piqued your interest? For starters, try exploring Panama City Beach Conservation Park for free, with its 24 miles of bike paths, trails and boardwalks. Or try St. Andrew’s State Park or Camp Helen State Park, where you can hike, snorkel and swim for as little as $2 per person or $4 per vehicle.
