Panama City Beach is the perfect spot for beginners to get the feel of snorkeling and it is also a great place to start a snorkel safari.

Generally, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins any time the sun is out and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are normally seen on an outgoing tide. Your best bet is to choose a dolphin tour operator like Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours that is on the water nearly every day of the year.
