Beach Safety and Flag Ordinance<\/strong>
\nPanama City Beach utilizes the internationally accepted beach flag warning system in an effort to protect our estimated 4.5 million visitors and locals from dangerous rip currents. The flag meanings are explained in detail bel\u25cavv. Double-red flags mean the Gulf is closed to swimmers. With the exception of surfers tethered to a board, no one is allowed to be in the water when double reds are flying. Look for educational materials on these warning flags in your hotel, condo or vacation rental, as well as at every public beach access point. Flags are located up and down the beach both inside and outside of the City limits. If you’d like text alerts when the flags change you can sign up by texting “PCBFLAGS” to 888777<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\nLeave No Trace Ordinance<\/strong>
