on the Emerald Coast. The location
allows escape from crowds and noise
without sacrificing a good time. The
three pools include one near the golf
villa compound Five hydro-clay tennis

up some of the tastiest fish tacos I’ve ever
had. Other food venues include The Cabana Café, The Tides Restaurant, and the
Flip-Flops Pool Bar. The Sheraton Bay Point Resort also has a newly-renovated spa
should you need a bit of papering. The Serenity Spa offers a variety of luxury body

If you wish to venture off the resort’s
property, consider exploring one of
the Gulf Coast’s most pristine beaches,
Shell Island, with the help of the resort’s
shuttle service, a beautiful boat ride on
the bay’s waters. Of course, you can do
what many visitors do, and take a short
car ride to world famous Panama City Shell Island
Beach. A couple of nearby attractions
for the kids include Ripley’s Believe It or
Not Museum, WonderWorks, the Shipwreck Island Water Park, as well as a bevy of
amusement parks and mini putt-putts.
