Bay County, FL · Gulf of Mexico
Mexico Beach
201 Paradise Path, Mexico Beach, FL 32410
A tiny self-described "Unforgettable Coast" town east of Panama City — wiped flat by Hurricane Michael in 2018 and rebuilding ever since. Wide, quiet white-sand beach, no high-rises by ordinance, and a slower vibe than anything else on this stretch. The municipal pier was destroyed in Michael; reconstruction targeted for 2027.
