Right on the Gulf sand in Panama City Beach, Sharky’s Beachfront Restaurant earns its reputation as one of the best dining spots on the strip with a combination of genuine Gulf-front location, fresh seafood, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere that works equally well for families and spring breakers. The two-story setup gives great views of the Emerald Coast water; the outdoor tiki bar is steps from the sand; and the Gulf seafood menu (grouper, shrimp, mahi) is as fresh as the address demands. One of PCB’s most consistent beachfront dining and drinking experiences.
