An inexpensive Trolley Service already operates in town and is an easy way to get to shopping, dining and entertainment.
Panama City Beach is undergoing significant improvements along Front Beach Road, the primary throughfare along the beach. Palazzo is on the far west end of town, so the incremental renovations occuring over the next couple of years are not directly impacting access to Palazzo, but will create a beautful, more traffic-friendly and more pedestrian-friendly stretch of several miles along Front Beach Road, running east from Palazzo toward Thomas Drive and the east end of town.Airport and Transportation Information:
The area is currently served by the brand new Northwest Florida Beaches International airport:
The airport is approximately 20-30 minute drive from Palazzo. If you do not want to rent a car, shuttle service to Palazzo is available from Yellow taxi in PCB, for $10 per person each way (shared ride)>
