Pier Park is a 1.1 million square foot outdoor lifestyle center and entertainment complex, and is the premier shopping destination for Panama City Beach. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re spending some of that hard-earned cash or simply window shopping. The park’s three main department stores are Dillard’s, JC Penny and Target, and there’s numerous specialty, famous name and boutique stores to boot. All stores have a distinctive ‘beach’ feel, and there are a fantastic variety of restaurants, cafes, and eateries to choose from when it’s time for a break.
Pier Park is also a great choice for family fun. The Grand Theater features 16 screens, comfy high back rocking chairs, and many special promotions and programs. Emerald Coast Laser Craze is located in the heart of the park, and consists of a maze of mirrors that you have to attempt to get through without touching a single mirror, plus a laser system that must be maneuvered without tripping one of the lasers. Another family-friendly attraction is the historical Carousel from 1970 that once called Miracle Strip Entertainment Park home. The carousel now sits amid several other fun amusement and kid-friendly rides opposite the Grand Theater.
As the sun sets over the Gulf, some of the restaurants at Pier Park transition into nighttime hotspots for live entertainment and dancing. Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge features live country music nightly, and Hofbräu’s Beer Garden offers traditional German favorites for a unique nightlife experience.
Located directly across from the sugar-white sands, Pier Park provides convenient access from all areas of Panama City Beach. Open year-round, Pier Park is the place to see and be seen.
