... quartz crystals washing down from the Appalachian Mountains centuries ago and being bleached, ground, smoothed and polished until the surf of the Gulf of Mexico deposited the millions of grains of sand on the shoreline. To withstand the pounding of the Gulf, the area has made a continuing commitment to beach renourishment. The renourishment program, undertaken in 1997, has added 50 feet of beach along 16 miles of Panama City Beach, making it the largest project of its kind in state history. The results are stunning.
