27 Miles of Sugar White Sand
The City of Panama City Beach (a/k/a Panama City Beach, or simply
"PCB") is a city in the Florida Panhandle on the Gulf of Mexico in Bay
County, Florida, United States. The city is often referred to under the
umbrella term of "Panama City," despite being a distinct municipality
from the older and larger inland Panama City to the east, making Panama
City and Panama City Beach two separate cities. Panama City Beach's
slogan is "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches" due to the unique
sugar-white sandy beaches of Northwest Florida. Recently the area
beaches underwent a $20 million "Beach
Beautification" project to widen the 27 miles of spectacular shoreline.
For
quite some time Panama City Beach has been a popular vacation
destination, especially among people in the Southern United States. The
city is also a very popular spring break destination, sometimes being
referred to as "The Spring Break Capital of the World," due to about
100,000 college and high school students who arrive during the months
of March and April. |
