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!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I would love to see the pics! It looks very pretty and serene and tranquil on the website. The sand looks so untouched, but, I'm sure they did it up some for the website. I actually like the action and the people on PCB more than too quiet and secluded, but, I just thought it would be nice to stay there a couple of nights before actually getting to PCB for our real vacation. I didn't know where it was, but I thought it couldn't be too far. Its further than I thought! Anyway, thanks bunches for the reply! : ) Funny about the lighthouse. I bet you all were surprised.
