Overview
Panama City Beach stretches along the Gulf in Bay County, with a mix of high-rise condominiums on the water, beach houses a short walk from the sand, and neighborhoods set back from the coast that are lived in year-round.
Homes you’ll find
- Gulf-front and Gulf-view condominiums, from studios to large penthouse units
- Single-family beach homes, some within walking distance of public beach access
- Newer master-planned neighborhoods and established subdivisions further from the water
Getting around
Panama City Beach Parkway (US 98) and Front Beach Road are the main east–west routes.
