Destin, Florida or Panama City Florida?

My husband and I are planning a beach trip for next summer with another couple and I don’t know where would be more fun Destin, Florida or Panama City Florida. We all will be 23 and without any kids. We enjoy going out doing a little dancing and having a drink from time to time. We are also looking forward to just being on the beach.

Thanks

That is a tough choice. Panama City Beach is by far the less expensive alternative. Destin is more upscale and has better places to eat and a classier night life. Panama City has a ton more bars but most are a little rugged. If you do stay in Panama City I would look for something on the west side of town near the pier park area.

For 23 year olds without kids I'd highly recommend Panama City Florida over Destin. Panama City is will not only have great beaches for you, but the nightlife and restaurants will be much more your speed. Check out this site for details on the city http://www.visitpanamacitybeach.com./

For two couples I'd also recommend you get a vacation rental or condo that has a shared common area and separate bedrooms. It'll be much more enjoyable than jumping back and forth to multiple hotel rooms. You can get a great deal here http://www.abetterstay.com/vacation-rentals/panama...

Keep in mind Destin only has 10k residence and has less to offer, however the days on the beach will be great I'd save Destin for when you have kids in tow.

Good luck and have a great vacation!
