Panama City Beach is a good book for the history of Panama City Beach

This book, Panama City Beach, tells the beautiful history of Panama City Beach. Panama City Beach is,”Considered one of the world’s most beautiful beaches for its sugar white sand and emerald blue-green waters.” One could find out about how Panama CIty Beach came about, the entertainments located here, the fun outdoor activities, and the most popular and famous restaurants in Panama City Beach. The photographs in this book show a black and white side of Panama City Beach. For me, this is different and very interesting.The author, Jan Smith, enjoys her hometown, and she shares it through beautiful images of her city. I think it is always better to have a visual when describing a place. Panama City Beach is all around a great family vacation hotspot, that is known for the “Number One” Spring Break destination. It stretches for twenty-seven miles along the Gulf of Mexico. Many families have traveled and loved this city for many years. I think the book is a great book. It gives travelers and people like me who love this city a history behind it. It also tells what places and activities were enjoyed back in the day. It shares the great experience you could have when traveling to Panama City Beach. It allows us to see the changes of Panama City Beach, and how developed it has become. I would definitely recommend this book to people who love to travel, people who love history, and people who grew up in Panama CIty Beach.
