It’s hard to imagine a more serene spot than this pier. The waves and wind were much stronger here which provided some great photos. St. Andrew State Park is a wonderful place to see when you’re done with PCB and I couldn’t recommend walking the pier more

We loved the family friendly atmosphere of the area. There was a great place for the kids to swim without the waves. Also a tide pool filled with treasure and the open water all in once place. Accessible walkways were available and covered tables in two areas.

Pretty decent pier out in St. Andrew's park that has gold views of Panama City Beach and the other westward towns along the gulf coast. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the pier, and when we went the very end of the pier was closed off. Still, it is nice to stand out above the water and watch the surf roll in with the clear blue waters.
