This is our retro Panama City Beach, Florida logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Sugar-white quartz sand washed down from the Appalachians over millennia meets turquoise Gulf water along nine miles of shore here. Gideon Thomas held the resort’s grand opening in 1936, the beach communities incorporated in 1953 and merged into the present city in 1970.

Goofy Golf’s hand-built concrete dinosaurs have stood since 1959, the Miracle Strip Amusement Park ran Florida’s first roller coaster from 1963 to 2004, and St. Andrews State Park keeps the old turpentine mills and wartime gun platforms at the east end. A little neon nostalgia on the Miracle Strip is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

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.

What’s with the Miracle Strip? For half a century the stretch of beach road through Panama City Beach was the Miracle Strip — a glorious tangle of neon, putt-putt, surf shops, and old-Florida kitsch, anchored by an amusement park. The Miracle Strip Amusement Park opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1963 around the Starliner, a wooden out-and-back roller coaster that was the first ever built in Florida. For forty years the Starliner’s white wooden hills were the skyline of the beach; in 1980 someone rode it for 336 straight hours and set a world record. The park closed in 2004 and the coaster was hauled away, but the name still means something here: the Miracle Strip is shorthand for old, neon, unpretentious Florida fun.

Why People Visit Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach rewards visitors who want bright white sand, warm emerald water, and an unpretentious good time, with a thread of retro neon still running through it. Add the piers, Shell Island, and the year-round Gulf sun, and the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches make their own case.
