For the past fourteen years, Hershey’s Ice Cream Shop at 8815 Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach, Florida, has been a local favorite and a beloved stop for visitors from all over the world. Located just steps away from the beach, this family-friendly shop has built its reputation on quality, variety, and old-fashioned customer service that keeps people coming back year after year.

Every day of the year, Hershey’s Ice Cream Shop proudly serves a wide selection of 44 different flavors, offering something for everyone—from timeless classics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry to unique favorites such as Moose Tracks, Cookie Dough, and Cotton Candy. Whether guests prefer a scoop in a cone, a sundae piled high with toppings, or a hand-spun milkshake, the shop delivers the perfect treat for cooling off after a sunny day at the beach. The bright, welcoming atmosphere and cheerful staff make every visit a memorable experience.

What sets Hershey’s Ice Cream Shop apart is its commitment to consistency and community. Open year-round, the shop isn’t just a seasonal stop but a local gathering place where residents and tourists alike can enjoy a taste of happiness, no matter the season. The friendly team ensures that every customer leaves with a smile, making the shop a staple in the Panama City Beach area.

In 2024, the family behind Hershey’s Ice Cream Shop expanded their passion for great food by opening Beach Pizza, conveniently located next door. Beach Pizza offers a delicious thin-crust pizza made fresh to order, along with flavorful wings, ice-cold beer, and a variety of other tasty menu items. The two businesses complement each other perfectly—after a savory meal of pizza and wings, guests can stroll right over for a scoop or two of their favorite Hershey’s ice cream.
