St. Andrews State Park

St. Andrews State Park is a jetty break in Panama City Beach, FL, covered by a free live cam from WPCT BeachTV.

About the Break

The break at St. Andrews works over sandbars shaped by the jetty at the pass, holding more shape and consistency than the open Gulf beach thanks to the deeper water and current at the inlet. It works on south and southwest wind swell along with tropical systems. As a jetty break, the rock structure shapes a more consistent peak than an open beach, generally suiting intermediate-to-advanced surfers comfortable surfing near hard structure.

Surf Etiquette at Jetty Breaks

Jetty breaks form where a rock structure shapes the sandbar, which usually means a more defined, consistent peak than the open beach on either side — and a more consistent crowd drawn to it as a result. Stay aware of the rocks themselves, particularly at lower tide or in close-out sets that can push you toward the structure. The standard right-of-way rules apply, and because the peak is more fixed than a shifting beach break, it’s worth spending a few minutes watching how the lineup is rotating before paddling out.
