YES...November is a great time of year to visit Panama City Beach for the following reasons:

• The crowds are gone
• The temperature averages in the 70's
• During early November, the water is still warm enough for swimming
• The sun sets more over the water than in the summer months
• While technically still in hurricane season, November hurricanes are far less common than in August and September, or October
• There is less seaweed than in the summer months
• There are a lot of fun annual events that happen in PCB in November like Beach Home for the Holidays and Emerald Coast Cruizin'.

No, it's usually not too cold to swim in PCB in the early weeks of November. The Panama City Beach average water temperature in November is in the low 70's with average highs in the 70's. It's actually very pleasant to swim here in early November. And if you enjoy a cool swim, you'll find it very refreshing to take a dip in the Gulf at any time in November.

If you're looking for mild weather and relatively crowd-free beaches and sightseeing, November is one of the best times to visit Florida. If you are looking for a mild climate in which to spend Thanksgiving, PCB is a great option.
