Panama City Beach, noted at "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches," draws crowds of all kinds during the summer to enjoy its sugar-white beaches and warm, emerald waters. Recent hurricane damage and a new-construction boom are serving to raise the economic image of the area, as luxurious high-rise condominiums and homes replace older motels and homes. However, this is turning unobstructed beach views and affordable waterfront property into rarities.
