Panama City Beach Public Beach Access Points & Piers
Where to actually park and get onto the sand — piers, parks, and numbered public accesses.
In Panama City Beach, essentially the entire Gulf-front shoreline is open to the public below the mean high-water line — Florida's customary use doctrine keeps the wet sand and the water itself accessible even where private development lines the dry sand above it. Bay County and the City of Panama City Beach both maintain numbered public access points along Front Beach Road and Thomas Drive, ranging from a simple sandy path between condo towers to full parking lots with restrooms and showers.
How many of those numbered accesses there are in total is disputed, so we publish no figure and no rounded stand-in for one. One publisher states 96 and attributes the whole inventory to Bay County; a figure of more than 100 is separately in circulation; nothing in our fact base settles which is right or what either figure counts. The dispute, the confirmed county clusters, and the open register item that carries the question are set out in our guide to PCB water access, parking and facilities.
Before you pick an access point, check the flag system — PCB flies color-coded flags (green, yellow, red, double red, purple) at the beach to signal surf and marine-life conditions, and conditions can change through the day. See today's flag status and water conditions before you head out.
Spring overnight closure — two stretches, not one
Read this before a late walk down in March or April
For the 2026 season the beach closed nightly from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., from 12 March to 30 April 2026. That window is longer than the 28 March to 11 April High Impact Period, and the two spans are not the same thing. The closure covered two separate stretches, not one:
First stretch: from about Beach Access 25 to Beach Access 36. Second stretch, separately: from about Beach Access 58, running east to the east end property line of the Calypso Condominiums. Access 58 is the western end of that second run, not a single closed access point — read as one range, it tells you everything east of 58 is open, and that is not what the closure says.
The reporting hedges both stretches with the words "from about", so the endpoints are approximate in the source and we do not sharpen them. It also does not say which numbered accesses lie between those endpoints, so for every access below other than 34 and 58 our note says the position is not established — that is an open question, not an assurance that the access stays open. No 2027 dates exist in anything we have read, so none are published here. Confirm with the Panama City Beach City Clerk on 850-233-5100 before planning around a future season.
Lifeguards
Three fixed locations are confirmed on this whole coast
They are Russell-Fields City Pier, Rick Seltzer Park and M.B. Miller County Pier. We publish no season, no daily hours and no staffing count for any of them, because the one documented staffing window belongs to a single pier and publishing it would assert a coast-wide schedule from a single-pier fact. A confirmed fixed location is not a statement that somebody is on duty when you arrive.
No other site on this list is a confirmed fixed location. That is an absence of evidence and not evidence of absence — no source we read says there is no lifeguard at those sites either. Treat this shoreline as unguarded and swim accordingly.
Notable Access Points
| Name | Type | Parking | Restrooms | Showers | Lifeguard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russell-Fields City Pier (Pier Park) Not established | Pier | Paid Lot | Yes | Yes | Confirmed fixed location | City-owned fishing pier directly across from Pier Park. Restrooms and outdoor showers are at the pier entrance, not out on the pier itself. LIFEGUARDS: this is one of only three fixed lifeguard locations confirmed anywhere on this coast — the three are Russell-Fields City Pier, Rick Seltzer Park and M.B. Miller County Pier. No season, no daily hours and no staffing count is published for any of the three, here or anywhere on this site, so a confirmed fixed location is not a statement that somebody is on duty when you arrive. The street number reads Not established because publishers disagree and this record picks neither: the City of Panama City Beach facility page at pcbfl.gov publishes 16201 Front Beach Road, pcbeach.org publishes 16201 Front Beach Road for the Russell-Fields Pier by name, and the Panama City Beach CVB publishes 16101 Front Beach Rd. Navigate to the pier by name, not by street number. |
| M.B. Miller County Pier 12213 Front Beach Rd | Pier | Paid Lot | Not established | Not established | Confirmed fixed location | Metered lot ($2/hr or $12/day via the Passport app). LIFEGUARDS: this is one of only three fixed lifeguard locations confirmed anywhere on this coast — the three are Russell-Fields City Pier, Rick Seltzer Park and M.B. Miller County Pier. No season, no daily hours and no staffing count is published for any of the three, here or anywhere on this site, so a confirmed fixed location is not a statement that somebody is on duty when you arrive. Restrooms and showers are both Not established rather than Yes or No: no source in this project's fact base states either way for this pier, so neither is recorded as present and neither is recorded as absent. |
| Rick Seltzer Park 7419 Thomas Dr | Regional Park | Lot | Yes | Yes | Confirmed fixed location | Free unpaved lot that fills up on peak days. Covered pavilion, restrooms, and outdoor showers. The restrooms are reported to run limited hours and no hours are given for them here — see below for why the figure this note used to carry could not stay on a page. LIFEGUARDS: this is one of only three fixed lifeguard locations confirmed anywhere on this coast — the three are Russell-Fields City Pier, Rick Seltzer Park and M.B. Miller County Pier.

| St. Andrews State Park 4607 State Park Ln | Regional Park | Paid Lot | Yes | Yes | Not established | THIS PARK CHARGES AT THE GATE AND THIS RECORD PRICES NOTHING — no figure here means uncited, not free. The operating authority has never once been reachable, so the entry charges this note used to state are held in the record's verification register and are not put in front of a reader. Calmer water than the main strip, bathhouse restrooms and showers, jetty and pine shade. |
| Camp Helen State Park 23937 Panama City Beach Pkwy | Regional Park | Paid Lot | Yes | Not established | Not established | THIS PARK CHARGES AT THE GATE AND THIS RECORD PRICES NOTHING — the charge and the method said to collect it are both uncited, and both are held in the record's verification register rather than stated here. Gulf access via a mobility mat from the parking area; no confirmed outdoor shower on site. Showers reads Not established rather than No: no confirmed outdoor shower is a statement about what this project could confirm, not a statement any source makes about the park, and the governing authority page returned HTTP 403. |
| Beach Access 24 Front Beach Rd, near Richard Jackson Blvd | Public Access | Not established | Not established | Not established | Not established | The City names this access on its handicap accessible list. SOURCE FOR THIS ACCESS: the City of Panama City Beach facility record at https://www.pcbfl.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Beach-Access-21, titled Beach Access 54-58, which names this access by number. That page lists four things and only four: bike racks, handicap accessible locations, vehicle parking and golf cart parking. It publishes no restrooms, no showers, no hours, no street address and nothing about lifeguards at any numbered access, and its lists are enumerations of what is present — an access left off one of them is unlisted there, which is not the same as documented as lacking it. Parking reads Not established. This record used to name a parking type here as flat fact and no source ever carried it: the City facility page above enumerates vehicle parking by access number and this access is not in that enumeration, and nothing else in the fact base describes parking at it. Not established is not a finding that there is nowhere to park — it is the withdrawal of a claim that had no publisher. What the City publishes is the designation and nothing about how the access is made accessible — no mat, no ramp, no surface — so no equipment is described here either. Do not plan a wheelchair arrival on the designation alone. SPRING OVERNIGHT BEACH CLOSURE — IT IS TWO SEPARATE STRETCHES, NOT ONE. For the 2026 season the beach closed nightly from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., from 12 March to 30 April 2026 — a longer window than the 28 March to 11 April High Impact Period, and the two spans must not be collapsed into one. The first stretch ran from about Beach Access 25 to Beach Access 36. The second is a separate stretch with its own two ends: from about Beach Access 58, running EAST to the east end property line of the Calypso Condominiums. Reading those as a single range tells you everything east of 58 is open, and that is not what the closure says. The reporting hedges both stretches with the words from about, so the endpoints are approximate in the source and are not sharpened here. No 2027 dates are published anywhere on this site. WHETHER THIS ACCESS FALLS INSIDE EITHER STRETCH IS NOT ESTABLISHED. The reporting names the first stretch's ends by access number and the second stretch's east end by a property line, and it maps neither onto the accesses lying between them; nothing in the fact base places this access relative to the Calypso Condominiums property line. That is an open question, not a statement that this access stays open — treat it as unresolved and check before a late walk down. Restrooms and showers are both Not established: no source in the fact base mentions either at this access, so neither is recorded as present and neither is recorded as absent. |

THIS ROW COVERS TWO ACCESSES THAT THE CITY TREATS SEPARATELY, and the page shows exactly how: it puts 76A on the bike rack list and 76B on neither that list nor any other, naming 76B only in continuing all the way to Access 76B and in Beach accesses 24 through 76B are inside the City limits. So the bike rack belongs to 76A alone and is written that way, and every other field on this row is doing two sites' work at once. Parking reads Not established.

Yes and No are both sourced: No means a source states the thing is not there. Not established means no source we read says either way — it is not a No, and it is not a hint.
The lifeguard column says one of two things and nothing else. A confirmed fixed location means the operating authority publishes a fixed lifeguard station there — it is not a season, not a set of hours, and not a statement that anyone is on duty when you arrive. Not established means no source we read places a lifeguard there and none says there is not one either. We publish no season, no daily hours and no staffing count for any location on this coast, confirmed or otherwise.
This list carries 15 named access points with parking and, where confirmed, restrooms or showers — it is not the complete list, and the complete list is not a number we can publish. For the City of Panama City Beach's side of it, see the city's own beach access page. That is one authority's page covering the accesses the city maintains, not a map of every access on this coast — Bay County maintains numbered accesses of its own.
