Panama City Beach is one of the cities in Bay County, Florida and faces the Gulf of Mexico. It is often confused as a part of Panama City, but in reality, Panama City and Panama City Beach are two different and separate cities.

Because Panama City Beach is very accessible, it is a very popular spring break destination for both college and high school students that are spending their vacation; that and Panama City Beach’s sugar-white sand that the northwest of Florida is known for. Of course, being in one of the areas that compose the Emerald Coast also contributes in attracting tourists.

But the long stretch of beach with sugar-white sand and emerald-green waters is not the only tourist attraction that this city has. Believe it or not, you can find Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum right in Panama City Beach.

Panama City Beach’s economy experienced a boost in the real estate division which started in the mid 2000s; this is when condominiums and big houses started replacing the older buildings in the area. In fact, the effect of this boost in the real estate business even caused the values of real estate properties dramatically. This also led the CNN/Money to award Panama City Beach for having the best real estate market in the US for 5 consecutive years.

Panama City Beach has a total land area of 18.4 miles and a total water area of .23 miles; the stretch of its beach reaches up to 9 miles and it is very accessible using three different major highways.
