Panama City Beach grew from a string of small beach resorts that opened after a bridge reached the Gulf shore. In 1929 the U.S. 98 Hathaway Bridge opened across West Bay from Panama City. Gideon Thomas bought land along what became Thomas Drive in 1932 and opened his Panama City Beach resort in 1936. That same year, 1932, J. E. Churchwell bought the site of a defunct beach resort at Thomas Drive and Front Beach Road, whose former owner, W. T. Sharpless, had been murdered in 1931 after trying to collect a fee from beachgoers, and opened Long Beach Resort there in 1935.
Other small communities and resorts followed along the shore, including Edgewater Gulf Beach, West Panama City Beach, Laguna Beach, Dutchville, Playville and Julia. In 1970 they merged and incorporated as the City of Panama City Beach. The city's slogan, "the World's Most Beautiful Beaches," refers to its sugar-white sand. Its Man in the Sea Museum displays diving history, including the deep-diving vessel Trieste II. A construction boom in the early to mid-2000s replaced many older homes and motels with high-rise condominiums, and in November 2006 CNN/Money named Panama City Beach the top real estate market in America for the next five years. The city also became known as a spring break destination. On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael struck Bay County as a Category 5 storm, destroying much of the county.
