My family is vacationing in Panama City Beach in about 6 weeks. They want to lay around on the beach. I want to rent a bike and ride.
Who has been there? Fill me in on where to go!

Get on hwy 98 and head west to Pensacola Beach.it's a short days ride , up and back.
Head east on 98 into Port St.Joe . You can ride out onto the peninsula state park there. A good half day ride. Plenty to see , but no real nice riding roads, straight & flat in the Panhandle.

I agree, Highway 98 is gorgeous. I used to live in the Ft. Walton Beach area many years ago. I got back for the first time about 2 years ago. Here are a couple of photos from that trip. these were all from either Ft Walton Beach or Destin, depending on the picture. Highway 98 will take you within a couple hundred yards of where these were taken when you are riding down Okaloosa Island.

Thanks for the input. How is the traffic? Are we talking 4 lane interstate, two lane, etc?

 

[Mdwatson]

Some of it is 4-lane divided highway and a lot of it is two lane . The scenery is great even if there are no turns.
