Pier Park

Open-air shopping and entertainment area next to the city pier, with shops, restaurants, cinemas and a Ferris wheel, busiest in the evening.

Pier Park is the largest outdoor shopping and entertainment complex on Panama City Beach. Across Front Beach Road from the Russell-Fields City Pier, it has more than a hundred brand-name stores, restaurants, bars, a cinema and the SkyWheel observation wheel. Performances and fireworks are common in summer. It is a great place to eat and shop after watching the sunset on the beach. Parking is free, but traffic jams are common in the evenings during peak season.
