Mexico Beach

Among the cities of Florida, Mexico Beach stands out for its compact, low-rise setting directly on the Gulf of Mexico in the Panhandle. Its wide public beach and distance from the high-rise resort strips farther west give the coast a notably small-scale character. Fishing, boating and beachgoing remain central to local life, while the surrounding waters belong to the wider Gulf fishery. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach as a Category 5 storm, devastating the town and making reconstruction an essential part of its modern story.
