Interesting Facts

Panama City Beach Florida. It’s beaches has smooth white sands.
The sand is so white it looks like snow, but it's actually tiny grains of quartz crystals that were washed down from the Appalachian Mountains to the Emerald Coast. This sugar white sand feels like velvet under your feet and makes squeaky noises. Just a lil knowledge about the beautiful white sands of PCB where we now live and call HOME.

"Panama City Officials Discuss Future of Downtown Marina Property at Special Commission Meeting"

City officials in Panama City are holding a special commission meeting to discuss the future of the downtown marina property.

This meeting follows a previous one where residents provided feedback on their desires for the area.

While there was talk of building an aquarium at the Old Civic Center location, officials are focused on creating the first 50 boat slips to progress the project.

The upcoming meeting will mainly center around the financial aspects of the project, with the potential for a decision to be made by the commission.

The meeting will take place at 840 West 11th Street at 4:30 pm.

Embracing the theme "Under the Christmas Tree," the parade promises a delightful showcase of festive floats and holiday spirit. I heard there will be a lot of floats!!!

The procession will commence at the Downtown Panama City Marina, journeying along Harrison Avenue, and culminating at Tommy Oliver Stadium.

Participants are encouraged to draw inspiration from cherished Christmas morning memories, bringing to life scenes reminiscent of favorite toys and festive traditions.

Enjoy this exciting Christmas parade and be a part of the holiday festivities in Panama City!
