Seawall Repair Panama City Beach
Seawall repair in Panama City Beach falls under the city’s building code, which lists seawalls in its scope (City Code Sec. 8-132).
We connect Panama City Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who confirm current city and county rules before work starts.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Michael’s water
During Michael in 2018, the Panama City Beach tide gauge reached 3.9 feet above mean higher high water, and a USGS sensor read 4.3 feet (National Hurricane Center). Walls on St. Andrew Bay frontage took that water against the cap.

Why it matters
Ask about local rules
The city’s land development code sets the detailed seawall rules, so have your contractor confirm them with the Panama City Beach building department before a scope is final. On state-owned bottom, FDEP’s riparian rule sets a 25 foot side setback with exceptions (Rule 18-21.004(3)(d)).
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
