PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Black’s Island is a hidden oasis just minutes off the coast of Port St. Joe. We are told the island has a deep history that goes back hundreds of years, when a pirate by the name of Sam Bellamy founded it. In the late 1800s, the Coast Guard attempted to build a lighthouse but never completed their project. After that, it went through a couple of different owners. Which brings us to Scott Seymour, who purchased the property in 2018, right before Hurricane Michael.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - We are getting into the busy season and it’s important to know the beach flag system. Especially when there is dangerous marine life present. Purple flags are flown for hazardous marine life in the area. Beach safety officials tell us that most of the time, it’s for jellyfish. However, recently there was also a shark spotted in the water that showed behavior that made the lifeguards a little bit more cautious.
