The Panama City Beach, also known as Russell-Fields Pier, is located across from the Aaron Bessant Park. The concrete pier extends approximately 1,600 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. The pier does not close, except for weather closures. Admission/use fee schedule applies. Fishing is permitted, and equipment is available for rental. A Blue Wave recipient, Panama City public beaches may be accessed to the east or west of the pier park area. A clearly marked 500 foot stretch of quartz sand to the west of the pier is dog-friendly. Canines must remain on leashes, be current on shots and wear ID tags, and all signage/regulations must be followed.
