candygoingtopcb, my husband and I drove over there a couple of years ago. It is about 35 miles. Here is a link to a mapquest map of how we went. You go down by Tyndall Air Force Base, and it seems like forever to get through there. It is not near as busy as PC Beach, you will be surprised at the difference between Mexico Beach and Panama City Beach. But we liked the look of the place. Will try to find some of the pics I have that I took of Mexico Beach and put in the photo gallery. We even drove on over into Gulf County to Beacon Hill as I had read there was a lighthouse there. Imagine our surprise to see what was their lighthouse. A metal frame with a beacon light on a little nothing road across the highway from the beach. We laughed our head off!
