March in Panama City Beach

Grandparents with young grandchildren planning 3 last weeks of March in Panama City. Wondering of it is the place to be with small children during spring break and all the wild and crazy college kids.

Never been there before, but found some beautiful condos that are of interest for rent. Chamber of Commerce informed me that the whole city is not crazy....just certain areas. thnxs for your responses.

tacobill, you can find more low key places. try staying on the west end of the beach. the further you stay from the point where front beach road and thomas drive intersect the better off you will be.

our spring break is the last week of march and by then the college crowd is thinning out. it is usually high school kids by the end of march. we have an 8 year old and we wanted to be close to the action, but not necessarily subject him to keg stands and wet t-shirt contests. we stayed at the beachcomber and it was perfect.

thanks for your reply melliewags. It sounds like the further west you stay on the beach, the quieter it will be. One more question. Are there plenty of restaurants on the west end?

There%26#39;s lots of good restaurants on the west end of the beach, Calypso, Boar%26#39;s Head, Mike%26#39;s Diner. And the previous poster is correct, you can avoid the wild spring break crowds by staying down that way.
