A Panama and a Beach in Florida

Two Panamas are in the world, one lies at its center, the thinnest part of the connecting land between North and South America, home of Panama City and the Panama Canal, one of the great engineering achievements of the early Twentieth Century.  The other Panama rests a bit higher on the globe, also on a narrow strip of land, a peninsula known as the state of Florida.  If you’re looking to stay in the latter, check here.  You may see a description of the former Panama, but if you click on the hotels, they’ll bring you back to places you can stay in Florida.

This second North American city, Panama Beach, contains a great deal to see and do for the entire family.  It’s a place in which you might play miniature golf one hour and swim with dolphins the next.  There’s amusement parks, waterparks, and museums.  For instance, take a look at Gulf World and Zoo World to explore marine and animal life.  In Gulf World, you can swim with dolphins, discover what it’s like to train seals, even experience a magic show.  Zoo World also provides safe encounters with everything from a parrot to a wolf.  You may dive underwater in Dive Locker and explore the waterways on the Betsy Ann River Boat or the Swamp ‘Vette and its Airboat Adventures.

The Panama at the middle of the Earth has been used as a trade route for nearly five hundred years.  When the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, ninety-six years ago, but Panama City Beach, Florida, began its history in 1936, founded only seventy-four years ago.  The slogan for this city is the “World’s Most Beautiful Beaches,” which is hard to argue once you see them and the brilliant white sands.
