Panama City is a four-season paradise for water-sports enthusiasts. Kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and kiteboarding are popular activities on the crystal blue waters of St. Andrews Bay. Numerous charters offer inshore and offshore fishing, scuba and snorkeling excursions. Guided day trips are available for dolphin-watching or you can go shelling on uninhabited Shell Island. Enjoy water views and fresh, locally caught seafood at popular restaurants like Gene's Oyster Bar, a local landmark.

Museum of Man in the Sea

This museum offers exhibits on the history of diving.

Reviewed By purpleinopp - Opp, United States

You can't live in it but you can see a yellow submarine today if you are in the area along with various other exhibits that are available around the parking lot. None are available for "a ride" but looking at them while imagining going under the surface in any of them was impossible really. Too scary for me! Fascinating to know that anyone actually did. Even if you do not have time to visit the inside, it is worth pulling over. Gauging from the outside exhibits, I have no doubt that the inside is worthwhile and interesting.
