The 31 best beach vacations

We’ve never found a beach we didn’t love, so to help us narrow down the list, we asked Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, better known as Dr. Beach, to lend us his expertise. Every year, he picks America’s top 10 beaches after considering factors such as sand softness, water temperature, pollution, and views. Dr. Beach is currently the director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research, but when he isn’t working, he retreats to his favorite seashore, Cape Florida State Park.




Sanibel Island, Florida: Absolutely the best shell-gathering anywhere; try quiet Bowman’s Beach (1-800-290-6920 or http://www.rescen.com/sanibelcaptiva)

Fort Myers Beach, Florida: 
Also promoted as “world’s safest” because it lacks rip currents, this white-sand beach slopes very gradually; you can walk a long way out into the warm, green-blue Gulf of Mexico (1-800-290-6920 or http://www.rescen.com/ftmyersbeach)
