With the fully outfitted kitchen, it can be fun to make a quick trip to the grocery so that you can have food available for quick snacks, or to cook your own meals. The closest grocery store (and we do mean close) is ½ mile west of Tidewater on Front Beach Road.   You could walk, but that makes carrying the groceries back a bit difficult.   There are many other options for grocery shopping on Panama City Beach Parkway (aka. Back Beach Road or 98).

  • Winn Dixie 17184 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Beach, FL, 32413
  • Walmart Super Center 15495 Panama City Beach Pkwy, Panama City Beach, FL 32413
  • Publix 11240 Panama City Beach Pkwy, Panama City Beach, FL 32407

Located on the first floor of the Tidewater Building is the Waves Bar and Grill, where you can get a delicious freshly made to order meal that is very reasonably priced. There is also a cozy bar in the restaurant with beautiful ocean views. On the ground floor level at the west end of the building near the west pool is “Flip-Flops”, a store and deli where you can quickly grab an assortment of things such as sandwiches, soft drinks, bags of ice, beer, ice cream, and beach toys.

There are MANY dining choices within walking distance. Located directly across the street is the very yummy Marco’s Pizza (who will also deliver) and Oishi’s, for a delicious Asian twist. Dusty’s Oyster Bar is a local favorite ¼ mile away.   Pier Park, also within walking distance, hosts Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Back Porch Seafood, Pompano Joe’s Seafood, Dave and Busters, Dick’s Last Resort, Hofbrau Beer Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Reggae J’s Island Grill, Five Guys Hamburgers, Marble Slab Creamery, Hooked (on the pier side), and many more. Muy Wayno’s is in the other direction just around the corner on Hwy 79 – excellent brisket burrito.
