There is no doubt that we love the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City Beach, Florida and these 25 photos illustrate why we love it so much.

Panama City Beach, Florida is a popular vacation destination, especially for those of us from the Tri-state. It is just a nine-hour drive from Evansville by car or if you prefer to fly, there is an airport in Panama City Beach if you'd prefer to fly.

With 340 Gulf-facing guest rooms, there is not a bad view from a single room at the Holiday Inn Resort. The Escape Deck offers a place to unwind, enjoy live music and drink or you can take a dip in the zero-depth entry pool. Brand new in 2021 is the new lazy river that spans nearly two football fields and offers a sand-side view of the Gulf.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
