The Driftwood Lodge  

On Panama City Beach’s Gulf shoreline, The Driftwood Lodge is a beachfront hotel in the heart of the action — a short walk to Pier Park and just minutes from Russell-Fields Pier and Swampy Jack’s Wongo Adventure.

Forty-six air-conditioned rooms feature refrigerators, microwaves and private balconies or patios, plus cable TV and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Bathrooms have shower/tub combos and hair dryers. A shady, palm-lined courtyard wraps around the heated beachfront pool and sundeck, creating a social, family-friendly vibe with regular activities and sunset gatherings.

Enjoy beachfront access, a heated pool and sundeck, outdoor pools and a hot tub, plus a terrace, garden, picnic and barbecue area, library and gift shop/newsstand. Expect laid-back poolside cook-outs, kids’ games and sunset parties that make the place feel alive.

Onsite computer station, 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff. Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and free self-parking make stays easy for work or play.

Melon Heads beachfront bar and lounge serves drinks with an ocean view, and an on-site coffee shop/café keeps mornings simple. A beach bar and casual cook-outs add easy, beachy dining options a few steps from your room.
