Renowned waterside dining is part of this community’s character
Time a trip to Uncle Ernie’s and it might leave an impression that sticks. This waterside Saint Andrews restaurant is known not just for its fresh grouper but also for its memorable views of the sunset over the Saint Andrew Bay. It’s one of the highlights of a restaurant scene that draws plenty of people to this pocket of Panama City. “A lot of good restaurants have come to that area,” says Charles Sowers, a local realtor with Realty ONE Group Emerald Coast. “Some world-class restaurants in my opinion.”
Uncle Ernie's is the place to be to grab a bite and catch a fantastic sunset over Saint Andrews.

Seafood with a touch of variety
Seafood dominates this coastal outpost. Still, the options here come with a mix of atmospheres. “I think that I can go there, no matter what mood I’m in and find something to do,” says Sowers, a realtor in the area since 2017. Locals can play pool or shoot darts at The Dive, which calls itself Panama City’s premier dive bar. Or people can sit down for a proper dinner at Uncle Ernie’s Bayfront Grill and Brew House, widely known for its water views. “They have amazing sunsets,” says Janet Melton, a local realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida, who has more than 20 years of experience. Local boaters can even pull up and dock here to eat.
Alice’s on Bayview, down the road from Uncle Ernie’s, is another hotspot, particularly for brunch. The menu includes dishes like shrimp and grits and salmon benedict. Those who want to take a break from seafood can swing by St. Andrews Slice House for pizza or visit Burgunbarrel for glasses of wine and a charcuterie board. Saint Andrews has a Grocery Outlet, too, convenient for those with their own homemade dish in mind.

Saint Andrews homes span a wide timeline
Europeans touched down in what’s present-day Saint Andrews in 1827. The area went on to develop into a beacon of industry, benefitting from its waterside location. There are still homes here that date back to the turn of the century, before the community was annexed to Panama City in 1927. “The Saint Andrews area is a one-of-a-kind historic area,” says Krista Navarro, owner of Gulf Real Estate, with almost 40 years of experience in the region. Away from the water and the restaurants, Saint Andrews is mostly residential, lined with slim streets partially shaded by Spanish-moss-laden trees. Single-story Craftsman is the predominant layout for single-family homes here, with options often falling between about 1,000 and 2,000 square feet, on lots between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre. Prices usually range from the $100,000s for a property that needs some TLC to the $400,000s for something in good condition, but there are some expansive homes by the water topping $1 million. Saint Andrews also has some select condos and townhomes, which can sell from the $100,000s to the $400,000s. “I think you can find a little of everything,” Sowers says. “Some historic homes. Some old 1960s homes that are in good shape, refurbished. Some new builds by the water.” The area’s crime score ranks just slightly above the national average, according to the CAP Index.

Boating is a tradition here
The waterfront plays a part in one of the highlights of Saint Andrews’ annual calendar: the Blessing of the Fleet in June. A tradition for almost 30 years, the Blessing of the Fleet takes place at St. Andrews Marina and features a boat processional, a fish fry and the “burning of the socks.” The sock burning represents the coming of more warm weather, with flip flops or no shoes at all a preferred route for waterside visitors. St. Andrews also has a farmers market every Saturday, around the corner at Oaks by the Bay Park.

Oaks by the Bay Park speaks for itself
Oaks by the Bay Park is a hub for outdoor fun in Saint Andrews. It’s aptly named, filled with massive oak trees that provide excellent shade for a picnic or a game of fetch with Fido. There’s also a boardwalk where visitors can peer out into the bay. The park transforms into a popular Christmas light display each December, too. Area anglers, meanwhile, can set up shop at St. Andrews Marina — no boat required. Spanish mackerel and red drum are among the top species in the bay waters.
