I am sure lots of people have been there. We are headed soon and taking three teenagers, anything we must do? Have a whole week to fill.

Thanks!

I’m one of those people that can be at the beach from wake up to sunset, have some quick prep food at the house ready for dinner, then go walk on the beach again before party time. Repeat for as long as needed.

Strip Clubs and bars is the only thing I remember. That was spring break though about 15 years ago.

Went there once for spring break, yea what a waste unless your into clubs and overpacked bars. No advice outside of spring break though im sure its a great place.

Not exactly sure.
Is there anything else that happens there besides getting drunk and humping random college students?

Well as long as you're discrete no reason not to go with the old stand by: hookers & blow.

Ohh I do, but I am not sure my wife will approve of me showing teenagers what college life is about.
Does PCB allow Alcohol on the beach the rest of the year? I know they stopped allowing it during spring break for sure. Luckily I was there the final year of alcohol-filled beach days and man were those a fun time.

There used to be a small Amusement Park called Miracle Strip Amusement Park . . . but I think I heard it was torn down.

And right across from that was Shipwreck Island (Water Park) . . . that was fun, at least in my memory of many years ago.

Honestly there is a reason PCB is called the "Redneck Riviera"...
Other then the beach, Pier Park and Shipwreck Island Waterpark, there really isn't much to do.

I'd recommend going to Destin if you're going to go on vacation in the Panhandle of Florida, much nicer and cleaner!
