Southport balances bayside living with quiet, pine-lined backroads, just a short drive from Panama City, Lynn Haven, and Panama City Beach in Bay County. Days here often start on the water: anglers chase crappie and bream on Deer Point Lake, while paddleboards and skiffs roam North Bay. When beach time calls, the sugar-sand and jetties at St. Andrews State Park deliver snorkeling, hiking, and Gulf views, and spring-fed runs along Econfina Creek reward kayakers with clear water and shaded banks.
Families appreciate the continuity of Bay District Schools, with area campuses feeding to respected K–12 options, while nearby Gulf Coast State College and FSU Panama City expand learning and career pathways. Travel is straightforward via Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, and everyday errands are easy along the Highway 77 corridor, where local shops, seafood markets, and services line the route. For parks, utilities, and permitting resources, residents tap the Bay County government.
Housing in Southport ranges from waterfront retreats with room for a dock to wooded acreage and new-build communities, offering a mix of privacy, space, and Gulf access that’s hard to replicate.
