**Who's Turning Panama City Beach into a Surfer’s Paradise?**
Now this is very cool and not that I'm a surfer (although I did almost lose my life once in the undertoe while surfing in Hawaii), Panama City Beach (PCB) is making waves in the local surf community. Once known for its spring break revelry and serene Gulf Coast sunsets, PCB is now embracing a new identity as a premier surfing destination.([laneconstruct.com][1])
**A Vision for Surfing Excellence**
Warren Smith, a former professional surfer and PCB native, is at the forefront of this transformation. His vision includes the development of the Shell Point Surf Club, a 10-acre facility designed to provide consistent, safe, and high-quality waves for surfers of all skill levels. The facility aims to offer waves ranging from 1-foot rollers to 7-foot barrels, catering to both beginners and seasoned surfers .
**Enhancing Local Surf Culture**
Beyond artificial wave pools, PCB is investing in its natural surf spots. The city is working to improve beach access, promote surf education, and host local surf events. These efforts aim to foster a vibrant surf culture that attracts both visitors and locals alike.
**A Sustainable Surf Destination**
In partnership with Keep PCB Beautiful, the city is also focusing on environmental sustainability. Initiatives include beach cleanups and educational campaigns to ensure that PCB remains a pristine and welcoming destination for surfers and beachgoers .([visitpanamacitybeach.com][2], [thisnation.com][3])
