Shopping
Panama City (ECP) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport spans convenience staples at Hudson News and tech accessories at InMotion through to local specialty gifts and duty-free for international travelers. See each section below for exact locations by concourse or terminal.
Duty-free shopping
None — ECP has no scheduled international commercial flights, so there is no duty-free shop anywhere in the terminal.
US duty-free allowance
US residents may bring back $800 in duty-free goods per person. Liquids purchased at duty-free must be in the original sealed store bag when transiting international connections — otherwise they may be confiscated at the connecting airport security checkpoint.
Books & magazines
No dedicated bookstore; the First Class Concessions gift shops (Level 1 and Level 2) carry magazines, paperbacks, and travel reads alongside gifts and snacks. The airport also runs the ECP FlyBrary, a free book-lending library in the terminal where passengers can take or leave a book.
Convenience & travel essentials
First Class Concessions gift shops on Level 1 and Level 2 cover snacks, drinks, sundries, and basic phone/travel accessories; Dunkin' near the entrance also sells grab-and-go items before security.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
No dedicated electronics or tech shop (no InMotion, Best Buy Express, or similar) — pack any chargers, adapters, or headphones you need before you fly; the gift shops carry only basic phone accessories at most.
Best Buy Express kiosks carry Apple accessories, Bose headphones, and phone chargers at most major US airports. InMotion Entertainment is the other key tech stop — open at most gate clusters and stocked with travel-oriented electronics essentials.
Fashion & specialty retail
Standard airport gift-shop apparel — First Class Concessions carries Panama City Beach/Florida beach-themed t-shirts, hats, and souvenirs rather than any dedicated fashion retailer.
Best shopping area
The Level 2 concourse gift shop is ECP's best all-around stop post-security — it's the one you'll pass gate-side, stocked with the same snacks, drinks, reading material, and beach-themed gifts as the Level 1 location.
Pro Tip
Skip looking for duty-free or big-name tech retail at ECP — it's a small, domestic-only terminal. The ECP FlyBrary (free book exchange) and the beach-themed gifts at First Class Concessions are worth a browse for something you won't find at a typical hub airport.
