American Mahjong Tournament, but beachside 🌊🀄️
Join us for a fun, social afternoon of Mahjong in Panama City Beach with stunning ocean views, fresh seafood, and cocktails available for purchase from Runaway Island. Come at 11am to enjoy lunch before play begins at 12:15 then settle in for an afternoon of relaxed, coastal Mahjong.

We’ll have fun prizes up for grabs—including Mahjong tile sets, accessories, and more surprises ✨
Play, sip, and soak in the Emerald Coast vibes.
