Panama City, the largest city between Pensacola and Tallahassee on the Florida Panhandle, is located on the shores of St. Andrews Bay. Nearly, 33,000 residents call Panama City home.

Positioned on the north shores of the Gulf of Mexico and protected by an uninhabited barrier island, the calm waters and constant breezes of St. Andrew Bay have made Panama City an attractive living environment since its founding in the early 1800s. Panama City retains the charm and beauty of a sleepy fishing village, while still enjoying the amenities of a busy metropolis. It is known for its numerous commercial and recreational fishing vessels, sight-seeing boat tours, ever-expanding colleges and universities, thriving shipbuilding industry, local chefs harvesting natural sea salts, authentic retail entrepreneurs, and the bustling Port Panama City. Bordering Tyndall Air Force Base and the Naval Support Activity PC, Panama City has a unique cultural mix of the arts, music, ecotourism and technology.
