About the Community/Property:
The Laketown Wharf Beach Resort Area: Looking for the best accommodations and value in Panama City Beach? Look no further than Laketown Wharf!

It resides in the heart of Panama City Beach’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities. Whether you’re booking a family vacation or a relaxing personal retreat, Laketown Wharf offers first-rate amenities and exciting activities suited to fit your needs.
Guests have access to 2 hot tubs and 5 pools, including: a zero-entry pool, a kiddie pool, an island pool, and a rooftop pool (with spectacular views). Please note that inclement weather (lightning within 5 miles) will lead security to lock entrances to all pools.
Laketown Wharf also offers guests outdoor gazebos, a putting green, free covered parking, and a gulf-facing fitness center that sports a weight training area as well as cardio workout machines. Be mesmerized: gaze at the gorgeous water fountain and feast your eyes on a nightly light show, which can be seen from the 52,000 square foot boardwalk (and perhaps your private balcony)!
One of the unique features of Laketown Wharf Resort is the fountain music-light show that occurs daily at 8:00 pm. You can see this from the front door of the condominium or from one of the bridges in the lake (or even the island pool).
Didn’t have room to pack it all? Head to the Laketown Market for basic foods and beach essentials. Hungry guests can choose from 3 different restaurants offering seafood, chicken, tacos, drinks and more. If you have a sweet tooth, visit the onsite ice cream and candy store.
