Today Panama City Beach is miles of sugar-white sand and emerald water, a family beach with a little neon still glowing on the Strip. Our Panama City Beach designs gather that identity — the alligator emblem, the Miracle Strip nostalgia, the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches — into wearable form. Panama City Beach — sugar-white sand, emerald water, and a little neon nostalgia on the Miracle Strip.
The town that holds all this came together piece by piece. A resort “Grand Opening” in 1936 put the beach on the map; over the next decades a string of separate beach communities — Long Beach, Edgewater, Gulf Beach and more — grew along the shore, incorporated in 1953, and finally merged into a single City of Panama City Beach in 1970. Before the resorts there were fishing hamlets, turpentine camps, and, during World War II, a shipyard and a gunnery range on St. Andrews Bay.
