Long Beach stretches across one of the widest, softest Gulf-front ribbons in Panama City Beach, where sunrise coffee and sunset strolls are daily rituals. Residents enjoy instant beach access and an easy walk or quick bike ride to local favorites like Pineapple Willy’s, plus family outings to Shipwreck Island Waterpark. Evenings often lead to a scenic wander on the Russell-Fields City Pier or an up-close dolphin encounter at Gulf World Marine Park. With a central location, you’re minutes from groceries, casual seafood shacks, and pier-side entertainment, all while feeling worlds away once your toes hit the sand.
Schools and daily routines are straightforward here. The neighborhood feeds into Bay District Schools, with nearby options such as Hutchison Beach Elementary, Breakfast Point Academy, Surfside Middle, and J.R. Arnold High. Commuters appreciate quick connections to Panama City and the wider Bay County business corridors, while homeowners value the mix of Gulf-front condos, townhomes, and classic beach cottages that accommodate both full-time living and second-home lifestyles. Weekends fill up fast: cast a line from the pier at dawn, hear live music by dusk, and fall asleep to the sound of waves.
