Panama City Beach

Published on August 21, 2022 by Rebecca Tice

Panama City Beach is a resort and coastal community in Northwest Florida. Located just west of Panama City and southwest of Lynn Haven. It's famed for miles of white-sand beaches that stretch out into the Gulf of Mexico's calm, beautiful seas. St. Andrews State Park, one of two local protected nature preserves, features hiking paths and fishing piers and is flanked by the Gulf. Pier Park is a popular retail destination as well as a site for important events.
