Panama City Beach Wedding - A Wedding Vacation Experience

Online, October 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Front Beach Drive runs the width of the city of Panama City Beach from St. Andrews Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. This road then turns 90 degrees at the shoreline and runs west along the beach. On the east side of Panama City Beach, South Thomas Drive offers Gulf views and beach access points. Panama City Beach wedding photos are some of the most beautiful in the world with a backdrop of sugar white sands and the emerald-turquoise waters that are unbelievably clear. Whether you want a casual, fun barefoot wedding on the shore or an elegant, highly formal affair near the water, this is the place for you!

Dubbed the Art District of Bay County, downtown Panama City Beach offers galleries and eclectic shops along with high fashion. Noteworthy shopping experiences include Pier Park, a large open-air experience, and the Grand Panama Beach Resort, which has high-end boutiques, wine-tasting, a spa, and more. Family guests of Panama City Beach wedding ceremonies will love all the fun in the area, like Shipwreck Island Water Park, Grand Theater, and Emerald Coast Mirror Maze. The largest nightclub in the United States, Club La Vela, is in Panama City Beach. If you are a golfer, you'll love one of the top three golf towns in the US, according to Golf Digest.

You might want your Panama City Beach wedding to fall during a special event, like the songwriters' festival, Indian Summer Days, or the Christian Music Festival, or you might want to schedule your day for a less crowded time of the year. Whatever you desire, the beaches in this area are beyond compare. The white, soft sand is actually made up of tiny, naturally bleached and polished quartz crystals, providing a sparkling bridal backdrop. Obviously, these beautiful beaches are the reason you choose to have your wedding in the area.

At the beach, there are plenty of water sports for honeymooning couples to enjoy. Kayaking, canoeing, and dolphin spotting are very popular pastimes. Divers and snorkelers are naturally drawn to the amazing waters. Another incentive is that the area is called "The Shipwreck Capital of the South." Boats and jet-skis are fun motor sports. Thrill-seeking honeymooners will love the gorgeous views from parasailing. Skim boarding and stand-up paddle surfing join traditional surfing and boogie-boarding as active hobbies. Thrills, fun, and relaxing nature experiences can all be a part of Panama City Beach wedding vacations.
