Why You Should Vist PCB and Florida in the Fall

When you think of when to vacation in Panama City Beach, you probably think of spring break and maybe the summer. However, every time of year is the perfect time to visit the coastal town. There is something almost magical about planning a getaway to the popular Florida city in the fall. If you need a bit of convincing, the team at Sail Away Vacation Rentals has put together a list of three reasons why you should plan an autumn escape.

1. Smaller Crowds at Popular Attractions

The large crowds of summer fade away as the weather starts to cool off. By waiting to visit until the fall, you have a better chance of enjoying some of the top area attractions and activities without having to worry about long waits. Play your way through a mini-golf course before taking in sweeping views at SkyWheel. Enjoy going out to local bars or nightclubs like Splash Bar or Schooners Last Local Beach Club without having to wait forever to get a drink. 

2. Idyllic Conditions

Florida is known for amazing weather year-round, and this is especially true during fall. Daily highs remain pleasant, sitting around the mid-60s, with lows hovering around the low-50s. These conditions mean you can enjoy all the outdoor adventures you want without worrying about the sometimes oppressive heat of summer. 

3. Less Competition for Luxury Vacation Rentals

Not only do smaller crowds mean fewer people at popular things to do and see, but it also means there are less people vying for vacation rentals. While we still recommend booking your Panama City Beach rental as soon as possible, you won’t have to rush as much as you would if visiting during spring or summer. 

Regardless of how long your vacation to Florida and Panama City Beach in the fall is, we have the perfect home away from home for you. Our inventory includes condos in some of the best resort communities, spacious Panama City Beach homes, and even pet-friendly rentals. You may even be able to get your dream rental for a fraction of the cost! Check out our special offers for ways to save on your autumn getaway. Call 850-338-7925 to learn more.
