There are 2 piers in Panama and both cost $3 to walk them. The one closest to Pier Park is further out into the Gulf so it's more worth it if you can only do 1 pier. They do stamp your hand so you can go on and off it all day. On the pier a lot of people fish so watch for them hooks. From what I was told to fish in Florida you need a salt water and a fresh water licence in order to fish in the different waters. There are also signs posted on the pier about how to handle a situation if sea turtles get caught. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/8021/ddcd0cb2-62a0-40dc-b6f2-f07abd9bc12c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Edgewater Gulf Beach 6 min walk \- 0.4 miles - ![Sunset in Panama City, Florida](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6023330/61ad034c-f147-489d-be0b-65a87b5329a5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Panama City Beaches 8 min walk \- 0.5 miles - ![Shipwreck Island Waterpark which includes a water park and rides](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6128258/fd3ab2e6-1eb8-4458-91cb-6c774df02465.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Shipwreck Island Waterpark 19 min walk \- 1.0 mile - Hombre Golf Club 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Golf Course at Edgewater 9 min walk \- 0.5 miles ### Getting around - Panama City, FL (ECP-Northwest Florida Beaches Intl.) 25 min drive ### Restaurants - Starbucks 3 min drive - The Wicked Wheel 16 min walk - Culver's 3 min drive - Beef 'O' Brady's 12 min walk - Another Broken Egg Cafe 18 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Does πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools have a pool? ### Is πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools? ### What time is check-in at πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools? ### What time is check-out at πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools? ### Where is πŸ–οΈ Sandcastles & Sunshine | Golf Cart β€’ Beach Gear β€’ 11 Pools located? ## Have a question?

Very clean- includes everything you may need- beach chairs, pool toys, bikes- it’s great! ##### Carmen T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara F. 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Spring Break Trip The condo was pleasantly clean, accommodating for our family, and comfortable. We were already well on the road when I got the email to print off my confirmation for the gate guard but thankfully he was very understanding. I wasn't aware that there were cameras on the premises, and I totally get it with it being a rental and we have one to, but I usually disarm it once guests have arrived. It was a little off-putting with it being on the entire stay. The walk to the beach (access 39) was not bad at all- about a 7 minute walk. We didn't try any of the pools. It got hot at night with the nest thermostat reset. The washer and dryer were nice to have since we were there for 5 days and that was a necessity. It's within driving distance to do many places. Rudy's is a must if you are looking for great and affordable BBQ! Sharkys was a fun experience for a nice sunset dinner. My kids (7, 7 & 11) absolutely loved the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise and Wonder Works. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay and our trip. ##### Sara F. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ---
