Ironman Florida Accommodations and Enhanced Package

Any recommendations for accommodations in Panama City for Ironman Florida? Decent motel close to the event.
Also does anyone have any feedback on the enhanced athlete event experience package?


Thanks

hate to be this guy, but there are many threads about this if you search around.

I did it in 2021, there's no shortage of awesome airbnb's in the condos all along the beach if you search there. i ended up just picking the one that fit our budget and bedroom needs, we had plenty of choices that were within reasonable walking distance from the pier/transition. as mentioned above, calypso is commonly cited as the best/closest but there are tons that are in walking distance.

good luck!

Calypso or Aqua or Pier Park. Word of caution - these are somewhat older buildings and some units have weird issues like noises from the roof vents, etc.

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

You can get by in Panama City Beach without a car. The area near the race site has plenty of places to stay and eat within walking distance. Are you flying into the Panama City airport? Obviously, you will need to get from airport to where you’ll be staying.

My only caveat is that PCB is a ghost town that time of year. There won’t be much to do and the November date doesn’t really make it typical beach weather. It could be 40 or 80 degrees.

Yeah, I wouldn’t build a vacation around PCB in November. The place is hopping during the summer. Not so much in November.
