Default Thunder Beach

Thinking about throwing a last minute road trip together to Thunder Beach bike week in Panama City about 10 days from now. Anyone ever been? Is it worth the trip?

I would say it's definitely worth the trip. Our first time there was the fall rally last year. The weather was perfect, the beach was beautiful, the riding was great, and they really put on a good event. The businesses and town were really welcoming. I've been to Daytona and a handful of other regional events, and IMO Thunder Beach is the best. We are camping out and Raccoon River campground. It can't get here soon enough!

Make sure you go to Angelo's Steak Pit. It is always a must eat when there. In my opinion I like Thunder beach more than bike week. We will be there from wed to sun.

Noticed that place when we were there. There always seemed to be a lot of people eating there in the evenings and we were wondering if it was any good. Might have to try it out.
