Panama City Beach, featuring 18 miles of white sand beaches along the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, is home to two state parks (St. Andrews State Park and Camp Helen State Park), Rick Seltzer Park, nearly 100 public beach access points, two public piers, waterfront restaurants that serve up fresh local seafood, and legendary attractions.
The waters at Panama City Beach are famous with fishermen and scuba divers who enjoy the benefits of dozens artificial reefs located offshore, and with a coastline that angles slightly toward the west, you can watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico every day of the year.
