Laketown Wharf Resort — Panama City Beach, FL Condo Resort
9902 S Thomas Dr, Panama City Beach, FL · 11 floors · 706 units · Near Beach
Laketown Wharf Resort is one of the largest residential resort developments in Panama City Beach, offering 706 condo units across an 11-story complex overlooking Grand Lagoon. While not directly on the Gulf, Laketown Wharf compensates with a resort-scale amenity package — multiple pools, a rooftop deck, boardwalk promenade, and a short drive to Gulf beaches.
Completed in 2008, Laketown Wharf Resort represents a different vision of the PCB vacation — Grand Lagoon waterfront rather than Gulf beachfront, but with an amenity package that rivals the best gulf-front resorts. The 706-unit complex includes multiple pool decks at different elevations, a rooftop swimming and lounge area, a boardwalk promenade with dining and retail, and stunning sunset views over the lagoon. Unit interiors tend toward the larger end for PCB, with many featuring separate living and dining areas, full kitchens, and private balconies overlooking the water. Gulf beaches are approximately a 5-minute drive. The property attracts guests who want resort-scale amenities at a slightly lower price point than comparable gulf-front complexes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Laketown Wharf on the Gulf?
Laketown Wharf sits on Grand Lagoon, not directly on the Gulf. Gulf beaches are a short 5-minute drive. The lagoon setting provides calmer water views and a different kind of waterfront experience.
How many pools does Laketown Wharf have?
The resort has multiple pool decks at varying elevations, including a rooftop swimming area with panoramic lagoon and Gulf views.
Is Laketown Wharf good value?
Generally yes — the large unit sizes, extensive amenities, and lagoon-front location typically come at a lower per-night rate than equivalent gulf-front condos.
