Steps from the sand and a few yards from the Gulf of Mexico on Florida's panhandle, Schooners is casual, fun, and always ready for a party, with a cannon blast at sunset every evening.

Schooners's open-walled, right-on-the-sand, beach-party ambience and live music would ensure its popularity, but it also takes care with its Southern-flavored food—including excellent grits made with three cheeses.

"There's no better day to flex your culinary skills than Valentine's Day. It's more intimate, and, yes, more affordable to make a meal at home. So sharpen your knives, roll up your sleeves, and follow the guide of these chefs and their recipes." See more

"With a hugely prolific fishing industry in the region, sea-to-table cuisine is in no short supply in Panama City Beach. For the classic all-American and much-imitated-but-never-duplicated beach town restaurant hangout, head to family-friendly Schooner's, where you should definitely order some garlic-and-butter sauteed crab claws (off menu) and take in a night of live music from the soundstage right on the beach."

"Another local institution is Schooners which was originally called The Last Local Beach Club until 1985 when new management renamed it. It has since evolved from a funky beer and hamburger shack into a local hangout offering live music and a much more extensive menu with seared crab cakes, tuna medallions and their popular Dixie Oyster Salad."

"Crowds gather at this beloved beachfront restaurant each evening to count down from ten as the sun dips below the horizon and Schooners sets off its cannon, marking the end of another day. If you opt to eat at Schooners afterward, try the smoked tuna dip (our favorite). I also highly recommend the smoked Gouda and Tasso cheese grits as a side in lieu of fries." See more

"There are hundreds of places to eat and dozens of beachside bars throughout PCB, and you will not have to battle crowds or have reservations in advance at the most popular places during the off-season. The seafood and barbecue are great and many of the places to enjoy it with a frosty drink are right on the sand. Sharkey’s and Schooners are two of the best (check out their webcams, especially right around sunset)." See more
