Runaway Island

Located along the coast at Panama City Beach, Runaway Island is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience that captures the heart of coastal dining. With breathtaking oceanfront views that stretch as far as the eye can see, this vibrant dining spot offers guests a unique blend of relaxed beach vibes and exceptional cuisine. Whether you’re savoring freshly caught Gulf seafood, indulging in a perfectly mixed cocktail, or sampling one of their mouthwatering island-inspired dishes, every bite feels like a taste of paradise. The expansive two-story deck invites you to dine with the sound of waves and the scent of salt in the air, while the warm, friendly atmosphere makes it just as perfect for a romantic dinner as it is for a lively gathering with friends and family. Don’t miss their sunset views, which transform the horizon into a canvas of color, or the occasional live music events that add a rhythmic accompaniment to your evening. Runaway Island isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a front-row seat to the natural beauty of the Gulf – paired with some of the finest flavors on the coast – making it a must-visit destination for travelers looking to enjoy the best of beachside dining.
