Bay County
Location and Geography
Bay County lies in northwest Florida, on the Gulf coast of the Panhandle. Its shoreline runs from Panama City Beach in the west to Mexico Beach in the east, and the county wraps around St. Andrew Bay, a sheltered bay system that opens to the Gulf. Panama City, the county seat, sits on the bay's northern shore.
Notable Features
Panama City Beach is one of the busiest beach destinations on the Gulf coast, with fishing piers such as the M.B. Miller County Pier and the Russell-Fields City Pier, and St. Andrews State Park at its eastern end. Shell Island, an undeveloped barrier island, is reached by boat from the park. The county is also home to Tyndall Air Force Base, east of Panama City.
Natural Heritage and Conservation
Loggerhead and other sea turtles nest on the county's beaches every summer. In October 2018 Hurricane Michael, a Category 5 storm, made landfall near Mexico Beach and caused severe damage across the county, which has since rebuilt.
