About Spinnaker Beach Club
Spinnaker Beach Club was a iconic beachfront nightclub on Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach, known for its outdoor deck, waterfall feature, and entertainment deck. With a past capacity around 4,800, it hosted memorable events including MTV's FIRST Spring Break broadcasts. As of 2024, the structure has been demolished due to hurricane damage, and the site is cleared for redevelopment. The planned project includes expanding Tootie’s Orchid Lounge on site, with a projected 2026 opening.
