Only went 1 time, that was enough. The best part was the ride from Beaufort to Panama City and back... went diagonally through Georgia.

Well, there's a sh*# load of sand on the beach. Another sh*#load of bars on Front Beach Road.
A bunch of amusement parks with waterslides and such. Some OK riding if you go north on Hwy79 and then get on some of the back roads. You can head over to Destin to the west about 30 miles. Another resort town but a bit more upscale and kinda pricey.
My take is enjoy the beach and it's numerous sites during the day. Hit the clubs at night. Get a map and find the streets that will take you to and from your hotel without having to ride too far on Front Beach Road. Expect high prices anywhere on the Beach.

Go to the city marina and look for the little german resturant on the southeast corner great german food, marina is at the east end of Beck st.
If you want excotic dancing the Golden Nugget is it.
Club la Vela is for the young crowd, on the beach.
Sharkeys is one of the oldest public beach clubs left around, on the beach.
Take why 98 east for some great riding. Go out to Mexico beach and if you dare on to Apalachicola to Boss Oyster, great seafood
Just after mexico beach headed east is a the little town of Port St. Joe when you cross the bridge there look to your right across the bay you will see a point, thats one of the best beaches in the world. Cape San Blas.
