IN THEIR OWN WORDS

PCB — IN YOUR WORDS

Whether you’re visiting PCB for the first time or the 50th, a trip to the beach always creates some of the best and most cherished memories. Friends, family or couples — no matter who you’re here with, you’ll never forget a moment. On this page, some recent visitors will share their thoughts on what made PCB special to them.

My son and his fiancé were married in a beautiful ceremony at St. Andews Park in October of 2021, so this trip was super special to me. I had my two sons, a daughter and all four grandchildren there together, and this was the first time little Kylan had seen the beach. My heart was so full. I feel that this picture is not only beautiful, but it also shows love — the kind of love I have for my family as well as Panama City Beach. Candice Simpson Martin

The Gilmore family has been coming to #MyPCB for 22 years. My children have grown up here, and we spend a week in the summer and a week in the fall here. Our family loves to go sunset sailing and snorkeling with Island Time Sailing, and we spend all day at Shell Island and St. Andrews State Park swimming and snorkeling at the jetties. We head down to Camp St. Helen, where the Ocean Meets Lake Powell, and take pictures by the “old beach roller coaster.” There are so many memories here at #MyPCB.

April of this year was our first time to PCB. We stayed in a beautiful beach house in the Holiday Beach area. We had such an amazing wonderful time that the kiddos wanted to move here. The beaches are absolutely breathtaking, and there’s so many fun things to do in town. We will be back every year now.

My husband and I found PCB to be our home-away-from-home. We spend winters walking the beach and exploring all PCB has to offer. We are so blessed to be married for 46 years, and now that we are both retired, we have been additionally blessed to enjoy the beauty of PCB. Last year, we were very blessed when we adopted our 4-year-old granddaughter. We now see our PCB through her eyes. The magic never ends at PCB; see y’all in November!

This was our first time to PCB, and we picked PCB specially because it’s dog friendly. This was also our first vacation with our dog — as we lost our other one a few months ago (she was 18) and had been planning to take both. The sunsets were amazing and perfect every night at PCB. We loved Pier Park and the SkyWheel. #MyPCB

We visit PCB as a family a few times a year. It’s perfect for our family and has everything we need. This was our last PCB sunset until next spring. We don’t say goodbye; we say peace out ’til next time! Tammy Williams Rhodes
