From Wikipedia:
Panama City Beach is a resort town in Bay County, Florida, United States, on the Gulf of Mexico coast. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 12,018. The city is often referred to under the umbrella term of "Panama City". Panama City Beach's slogan is "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches" due to the unique,[ sugar-white sandy beaches of northwest Florida.
Panama City Beach is a popular vacation destination, especially among people in the Southern United States. The city is also a popular spring break destination, due to its beach and proximity to most of the Southern United States. The first two seasons of MTV’s Floribama Shore were filmed in the city.
A construction boom in the early to mid 2000s changed the image of the area due to the older homes and motels being replaced with high-rise condominiums and more expansive homes. However, this is turning unobstructed, low-rise beach views and affordable waterfront property into rarities. At the peak of the real estate boom, many beachfront properties had quadrupled or more in value since 2000. In November 2006 CNN/Money named Panama City Beach the No. 1 real estate market in America for the next five years in Beachfront property has sold for upwards of $60,000 per "front foot" (linear foot) at the top of the market. The downturn in the U.S. real estate market in 2007, combined with a surge of new condo construction, brought spiraling prices somewhat under control. With the real estate boom, Panama City Beach became a well known destination for spring break.
Category 5 Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach in Bay County on October 10, 2018, becoming one of the strongest and most-destructive hurricanes in American history as it destroyed a large part of the county, including many structures in Mexico Beach and Panama City. An EF-0 tornado did minor damage to the northwest part of Panama City Beach, Florida on February 15th.Tornadoes of 2021

Seriously...
Mike, Please Change the Thumbnail and Title.
It is just inaccurate.
This seems to be something you may take pride in, the locals you are representing are needing this corrected.
No such thing as "Downtown" PCB... The only "Downtown" ( if you wanna call it "Down town") is old Panama City.
I was there in Panama city and Florida beach last year in Jan2021. Lovely place.
I grew up in South Georgia and this was like our beach!😊 . I guarantee alot of the people you see walking and riding around are there for the weekend from Georgia.
If only you would remain in Georgia...we would much appreciate it...
@@JONISTI1 PCB has always been an attraction for Ga. and Alabamians. They used to call it the Redneck Riviera. I'm pretty sure they would not had built that endless row of hotels along the beach if they had not intended people to come stay in them. SMH.
He is saying that because Georgia is the absolute worst during spring break!
@@hughleet Did you mean to say people from Georgia are the worst during Spring Break?
My has PCB changed. I used to live just 4 hours away from PCB, spent a lot of time down there. However that was a long time ago as now I'm a good 10 - 11 hours away. Been 20 years since last time I've been to PCB and it's changed so much. Thanks for the vid!
At the 34:00 minute mark you can see the condo on your left and parking garage on your right. Calypso Resort! Where we stay every year. Very nice condos that’s on the beach. Big nice rooms and lovely pools. Parking garage is always a bonus too. Close to everything. 5 stars!!!
Panama City Beach, I lovely place in Florida where it has the highest palm trees, the sandy beaches, and the best views of the ocean.
Heading west over the Hathaway Bridge that connects Panama City, Florida to Panama City Beach, Florida on Front Beach Road, past where I used to live before Hurricane Michael, past Pier Park, and one of my favorite eateries ending at Back Beach Road. Now I'm in Panamá, the country. TY for a great memory ride!
You’re welcome!
I rode the charter bus to Panama City Beach, so it was one of the best times of my lifetime. I really enjoyed going there and seeing the city and the people that were visiting. I stayed at one of the best hotels there. I loved their shopping center near Edgewater Hotel off of Highway 30. Panama City Beach can’t get no better than this, and I would love to live there. The problem is the flooding situation are really bad. Panama City Beach is a very good place to visit and the students from all over the world can come stay for a whole week.
its awesome，thangks for sharing man!
I went there for fourth of july. Nice small town feel right in the ocean. I had a blast
Life long resident of Panama City.... You just drove the Strip.... not downtown, that's in town.
Exactly, downtown is in town....Panama city. This video says Panama city beach, so clearly they're driving around in Panama city beach.
You've lived here long enough to know this outta town sumbitch don't know better
th-cam.com/video/gkSeFfsgGBM/w-d-xo.html
@@BattleBendOutdoors Nice and quick way to let them know how ignorant you people can be.
Nice drive Mike this made me remember my vacation here a couple years ago
I was in Panama city week before last and it's beautiful there
Was hoping you coulda pulled off somewhere.to show us the beach.caught sight of it from a distance.been awhile since i seen it.
Will be there on 7/3! So pumped! The family needs a beach vacation.
Going down front beach is long and stressfull -- I try to avoid it
Is Traffic Always This Bad On The Strip In Panama City Beach, Florida
We passed by my condo.
I bought it on June 6, 1982.
I've seen a few changes..........😊
You are in Panama City once you cross the bridge heading East.
Amazing video Florida Mike keep it up man you have nearly driven through every Florida city that's amazing
Did you even watch the whole thing?
Yes of course I did
@@silverhawk24 the video is a hour, and he just aried it
Yeah I watched it and it's no where near an hour its like 44 minutes dude yeah so I watched it
@@silverhawk24 lol obviously he doesn’t even know what he is talking about

Hello from seattle I miss for panama city beach back day I leave there
I went to PCB in May 2023 for my cousin’s wedding which was in Rosemary Beach
As someone that lives here in Panama city
I can honestly say it sucks here but the view from the shores of panama
Worst part of pcb is Thomas drive and front beach road. It's where wal mart and pineapple willys is by. Every year that place is ridiculous with drunk college kids everywhere. This past spring break was a good example of how bad it gets.
I've visited here a few times, I'm not a local. I don't understand why there's negative comments. I've never had any problems while here. Would it be a good idea to retire here?? Asking for a friend.
Yes, it would be.
Ignore the negative comments. They could be posting from anywhere.
As a resident I’d say it really depends on when you retire because as of now there is tons of renovation and new buildings and expansions happening, unless your ok with constantly dealing with companies for land or new condos being built.
@@hutch2k168 thanks for the advice
25:47 palm grove across the street from the arcade I always stay there
We were just there. Loved it. Ready to move.
Have U Moved To Panama City,Florida Yet
No not yet will be a few years yet.
It’s buatiful I was there last week is a good vacation with family
Race city parking lot is renovation. The building is gone by July 2021. I love ❤️ PCB
Nice video
Some Much SightSeeing To Do On The Strip In Panama City Beach, Florida Yes Sir Indeed It Is Just Be Safe Doing So
So on the beginning of your video...you said welcome to PCB....you were actually still in Panama City. ...and also...No local calls PCB ..Panama City, as they are 2 separate city's.
I'm one of the rare Natives of Bay County.
I know. I just wanted to get the bridge in the video. I made a separate video for Panama City.
th-cam.com/video/gkSeFfsgGBM/w-d-xo.html
@@MileageMikeTravels Panama City and Panama City Beach are the same.
The Beach is the Beach and the Downtown is Downtown.
As a lifelong Local and PR/Marketing and being in the politics ...it is one town (Bay County).
Panama City beach and Panama City are not the same town hence why they have 2 separate police departments, mayors and councils.
@@ITSHProductions you need to do more research.....being a lifetime local...you should know that Panama City and PCB are NOT the same. They are completely 2 different city's. Yes they are both part of Bay County....doesn't mean they are the same. It's just like Mexico Beach is in Bay County....BUT its not part of Panama City. Lynn Haven is in Bay County....but its also not part of Panama City.
@@perryh.5306 yeah you're right, they could say it is in the metro area though and it would've been correct
The Thumbnail and Title NEED to be Corrected!!!
This is NOT "Downtown"
Panama City 'BEACH' is Just that, it is the 'Beach' to Panama City.
Panama City has a "Downtown"; Harrison Avenue is "Downtown". (See you have a video, but for visitors that do not know, they need to be aware).
----> If you have to 'Name' it....
It is called "The Strip"
i.e. "let's go cruise the Strip"
Please, please, change this 🙏
"Downtown" needs tourism too...especially since #hurricanemichael and now with Covid.
A very good video of my hometown.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We just came back from vacationing in a lovely condo on front beach road
Where Exactly Did U Guy’s Stay AT The Condominium On The Beach Front
I use to live on Lynn street
I was there a week ago
Where U Stay AT When U Visited A Week Ago
WOW NO TRAFFIC… Awesome I live in ATLANTA..Maybe move there
If you live in Atlanta, then you know traffic is horrible everyday..... except Sunday and it's still occasionally bad
Downtown PCB is at the corner of Hwy 79 & 98 ( old Back Beach Rd ) where city hall, police dept., Library is .
There is not a Downtown PCB...
PCB is the Beach to Panama City, Panama City has a Downtown...Harrison Avenue.
@@ITSHProductions If you conduct any business with PCB to have to go to 79 & 98 to do it. All PCB government services are conducted from this area and that is why i would call it downtown PCB .
Those golf cart drivers seem to be a little aggressive out there!
yeah some people dropped their baby off one a few days ago. like deadass. i live in pcb
I’m trying to go🥺❤🙏🏼
Go in Casa Loma
I've lived in Treasure Island Florida my whole life and never have seen the panhandle,, I guess I haven't missed much!🙁🌴
I'm right next door St Petersburg:-)
Don't base your choice off others.
I was moved here as a child against my wishes. I'm originally from mountains and farm land....I hated moving here, until my 20s, this is a gorgeous place with great Mom and Pop places and if it's not the emerald waters and white sand, it's the natural springs and wildlife you cannot find anywhere else. Not to mention the people are nice.
Love your videos.
People have absolutely no respect.
The people in the extended golf cart littered right in front of you.
Disgusting.
That's why we locals are sick and tired of Georgia, Alabama and nearby visitors that trash OUR CITY AND OUR BEACHES
@@JONISTI1 But that Money though...
Just spent a few days here. 😁
What is the point?
Note to self... take 98 as much as possible everywhere.. because the traffic in the video literally got on my nerves
Lived in Navarre 😁
But if you want a more scenic route, drive 30A 😁
Some nice scenery along that road & the beaches are gorgeous too !
30A is a beautiful drive!
Ive been there, At 38:10, thats my hotel. Great job with the video
Nice! How was it?
It was awesome, I hanged out with my family in the pool
@@ridgemeneses550 oh nice!!! Last hotel I’ve been to was ft laudable. Sheridan street holiday inn before I went on a 7 day cruise
I live here this place sucks for locals
it looks sad
You haters bruh I tell ya
This ain't nothing but a tourist town
Home sweet home
there is no such thing as "downtown" pcb. pcb is just pcb. downtown is old panama city which is a beautiful place to visit.
Ha! I came here to say this same thing, if there was a downtown it would be pier park
th-cam.com/video/gkSeFfsgGBM/w-d-xo.html
nice one!!!
Thanks!
@@MileageMikeTravels Is the Florida series finally over?
Are we not gonna talk about all those lifted trucks and people illegally driving golf carts on the roadway
It's not illegal on front beach road
Golf carts are legal there. You can rent them
I live in chipley florida and I'm at the beach all the time it's 45 minutes from my house
I live just outside of Chipley towards Cottondale.
My sister lives in Greenwood
What is this Mario kart? What's with the banana peel in the road
My town
I stay on back beach road i love that place moved their from atlanta never going back
I’m in Atlanta right now and had recently visited Panama. How’s life there ?
How Come U Moved From Atlanta To Panama City Beach
Ain’t no down town pcb. That’s old pc! Nice video though
Member hurricane Michael? I member
I remember like it was yesterday 😔
10/10/18 we lost our home in Lynn Haven. Nebraska now, at least for a few years.
I think we all suffer PTSD from it.
Give me the West Beach or nothing!
West end the best end!!!!
Look like any other town in Florida with overdevelopment of high-rises, and concrete. I am better off staying in Miami. Truly in an effort to make a quick buck we have destroyed Paradise! This is truly the concrete state, as poring it is what we do best!!!
.miss it already
Hurricane country
More than the Atlantic?
It is amazing how the money grabbing developers have ruined this beautiful area of the Gulf coast. Wen I was there in 68-70, all those god awful condos and hotels were not there. You could drive along the beach and see the water, the palm trees, a few lounges and some motels, and no real traffic jams. Now you can drive along the 'Front Beach Road' and never see the beach. There must be 100s of street lights. What kind of vacation place is this monstrosity?
👋🏽Mike U Drove A Motorcycle 🏍 B4
No. Too dangerous for me.
@@MileageMikeTravels I Don’t Blame U Buddy
:o
Hurricane Michael put a bad hurting on the residence of Panama City, there was a housing crisis before the hurricane but after Michael there's been a large number of homeless working people wandering the streets and making homeless camps
They are heading in Panama City BEACH.
I hate pcb
PCB has turned into trash in the last decade.
hi you are cool
😎
what a boring place. where are the restaurants?
Why u gotta be eating all the time?
@@valjean2036
People eat food .
It's pretty common
Ok, where are the stores or anything else?
Lmao
That’s why you never been in my hometown
@@SA-hz1rs destroyed by Michael Dumbass, you’ll see them in Pier Park South and North
Downtown is a hugh dump!! Nothing but old rundown buildings and old high over priced antique shops!! Yukk
this whole place looks dead and sad
@@SA-hz1rs Explain how’s its dead and sad PLEASE enlighten me wit that question
@@callmereddhead2196 looks dead
