Guidebook for Panama City Beach
Food Scene
The place is always packed with both locals and tourists. Very limited menu with very very fresh seafood just off the boat. Often has a band, and when it does it can be loud.

In the main U driveway of Seaside there is a wine & sushi bar I like and a little gourmet type grocery called Modica Market. It should be noted that Modica Market serves rather large & delicious mimosas with fresh squeezed OJ. Also at Seaside are about 4 airstream trailers right in the front. One has FABULOUS organic foods and smoothies, another has gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and another has fancy hot dogs. Across the street on the oceanside of Seaside there is a little open air burger joint and an open air taco/mexican place. BUT my favorite little open air/oceanfront place is the oyster shack. You walk through and order your oysters (I like the shack special) and then remove you
