Yes. Hurricane Michael caused significant damage across the Panama City area in 2018, particularly in neighboring Panama City and Mexico Beach. Since then, Panama City Beach has rebuilt infrastructure, reopened attractions, welcomed new businesses, and continued to develop as one of the Gulf Coast's most popular vacation destinations. Visitors today will find the area's beaches, accommodations, restaurants, and attractions operating normally while ongoing redevelopment continues in parts of the region.
