For those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle, Florida's Panama City, located in the Panhandle, could be worth considering. Panama City's proximity to Gulf Coast beaches offers opportunities for frequent beach trips, and recent migration data suggests that the surrounding area is attracting some Atlanta baby boomers.

Panama City Beach lifeguards have bigger goals after solid 2026 season

PANAMA CITY BEACH − In the wake of a successful 2026 season, Beach lifeguards are already preparing for 2027. As of Nov. 6, Daryl Paul, beach safety director for Panama City Beach Fire Rescue, said there were only about three weeks left in the 2026 lifeguard season, which runs from March 1 to Dec. 1. Here's what we know about how the season went: How many rescues, assists, preventative actions? As of Nov. 6, Panama City Beach lifeguards had performed 1,495,810 preventative actions, 553 public assists and 29 rescues. This compares with about 281,000 preventative actions, 181 public assists and 23 rescues in 2025. "(This) was the first year that we were fully staffed, so we had more lifeguards to make it to more places and do more," Paul said. "I (also) contribute (the success) to our lifeguards being proactive. ... In 2025, we struggled with our staffing immensely. We had some hard times." Preventative actions are when lifeguards educate beachgoers to prevent them from needing assistance. Public assists are when lifeguards enter the water to prevent rescues. Rescues occur when lifeguards pull someone from the water who likely would have drowned without intervention. How many drownings? Three beachgoers drowned
