Preserved in these pages are the rich and storied history of the scenic waterfront town of Panama City Beach.In a collection of nostalgic and lighthearted vignettes, local author Jeannie Weller Cooper recounts the history of Panama City Beach, the barrier islands and beach for old Panama City. First inhabited by Native Americans in the years before the Spanish arrived in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Panama City Beach has always proved a good hideout for fugitives, from Native Americans fleeing from European invaders to runaway slaves, Civil War soldiers, outlaws and rumrunners.

Now Panama City Beach is home to thousands of residents, as well as being a renowned tourist destination. Read more
