- I have been lucky enough to walk the beaches here on several occasions while waiting for my passengers to complete their business dealings.
Oh to be walking along this beautiful beach, strolling along with my original aviator sunglasses enjoying the sunshine and the lapping waves.
Hope I get to return again soon and that the beaches stay clean!

I sure hope the oil doesn't destroy this beautiful beach.

- Nice lens. Panama City Beach was once THE vacation spot for people in Birmingham. Still really popular, but the Alabama Coast has took some of the tourists.
5 Stars!
