I went to college at FSU and we used to party out in PCB (Panama City Beach). There are a lot of great beaches and cool bars in the area.
Thunder Beach Fall Rally has five official venues (Shoppes at Edgewater, Boardwalk Beach Resort, Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort, Pier Park, and the Spinnaker Beach Club), but also at the bars in the area will be sponsoring events.
There are actually two Panama City Thunder Beach rallies, the first one is the Spring Thunder Beach rally which took place May 1 to 4, 2008 and the second is the Fall Thunder Beach Rally which rund from September 25 to 28, 2008. The spring rally usually attracts over 60,000 enthusiasts and the fall over 45,000 bikers and enthusiasts. Both rallies are filled with activities and Panama City is very easy to get around with over 25 miles of sandy beaches.
Both of these Florida Motorcycle Rallies are billed as "The Most Biker Friendly FREE Rally in the United States", and a rally that is fun and free is obviously not common these days. The fall Panama City rally is on the
2008 Lightning Customs Major Motorcycle Rallies List.
Ride safe and have fun.
