About Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach is a Florida Panhandle resort city on the Emerald Coast, known for wide white-sand beaches and Gulf water that drives much of the local economy. It became a city in 1970 when several beach communities merged, and it still feels like a string of beach districts tied together by tourism. Pier Park, Frank Brown Park, St. Andrews State Park, vacation rentals, seafood spots, and seasonal crowds all shape the day-to-day rhythm.
