Sandy

Florida's ghost towns are railroad towns Flagler built, 1920s land-boom subdivisions that busted, and phosphate and turpentine camps.

Sandy Creek Airpark (FAA LID: 75FL) is a private residential airpark located in the East Bay Sector, 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the central business district of Panama City, in Bay County, Florida, United States. This airport has one dusk-to-dawn lighted runway, and a green-white beacon. The facility is used primarily by residents/association members, their tenants and guests, and members of the EAA Chapter 202. Phase I of Sandy Creek Airpark was completed in 1983, followed by Phase II in 1988. Sandy Creek Airpark will soon develop Phase III.

The on-the-ground condition of Sandy is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Sandy is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Sandy is roughly 30.1028, -85.4808 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
