The Quiet Alternative. With its satin, sugary white sand beaches and awe-inspiring sunsets over the breathtaking Gulf of Mexico, Mexico Beach has long been a memorable choice destination for sand and surf seeking vacationers.
Mexico Beach is a quaintly small, multi-generational family oriented coastal community located just 20 miles east of Panama City.
It is the farthest eastern tip o0f Bay County with roughly a 1,000 permanent residents. Once upon a time, the peak vacation duration was considered from Memorial Day through Labor Day. However, "the season", as it is referred to by the locals, now spans the entire calendar year.
The small town feel and ambience of nostalgic innocence in Mexico Beach is a vast part of the attraction for visitors and investors alike. With locally owned and operated family oriented businesses intricately scattered along Hwy. 98, this beachfront village is rapidly becoming a flourishing business community; thus quickly becoming enabled to support the thousands of annual guests to its hundreds of rental homes and handful of motels.
If you are looking for less commercial activity, then sharing the same stretch of sandy beaches and Highway 98 is St. Joe Beach. Mostly developed north of the Hwy since most of the beach front land is “County owned - public beaches”. On the most east side of St Joe Beach is WindMark Beach, a St. Joe Company’s newest coastal community in the Forgotten Coast. A planned beachfront residential community with an invigorating coastal lifestyle.
Whether seeking a sound, phenomenal slice of investment property, primary or secondary home, these coastal communities glowing with charm, offers the best of all that the Forgotten Coast has to offer.
