Shopping around PCB
Pier Park gets the attention, but shopping around Panama City Beach changes depending on what you need. Front Beach Road handles plenty of beach-week basics. Pier Park and Pier Park North cover shopping, dining and everyday stops. Highway 98 is where many of the bigger errands happen.

Pier Park is the main open-air shopping, dining and entertainment center across from the City Pier, and Pier Park North carries it across the parkway on the Highway 98 side. The center’s directory has the current lineup of stores and restaurants.

Everyday errands
Panama City Beach Parkway and Highway 98.
When you need groceries, a pharmacy, hardware or a bigger shopping run, Panama City Beach Parkway/US 98 is usually more practical than Front Beach Road.
Highway 98
The grocery run
Supermarkets and pharmacies line Panama City Beach Parkway and Highway 98, and Breakfast Point has a Publix at its entrance. West-end households tend to shop on that side, and east-end households head to the same road when Thomas Drive doesn’t have what they need. Pictured: a Publix Food & Pharmacy.
Back Beach
The big-box stop
Home, hardware, and larger stores along Panama City Beach Parkway, an easier summer drive than Front Beach Road.
