According to A History of Panama City courtesy of the Panama City Public Library, George Mortimer West changed the name of the town from Harrison to Panama City, during the construction of the Panama Canal. West hoped the media attention and the name connection name would draw investors. With access to the white sands along the Gulf of Mexico, visitors and residents do not require an extra incentive to enjoy the area. The County offers three public access points along Spyglass Drive. They are located at the end of Lookout Street, end of Bristol Street and the end of Spyglass Drive. Each access provides a 20 foot wide boardwalk that has handrails. Additional onsite amenities may not be available.
