Dr Beach: Hanalei Bay is the nation's top beach
I

"Dr. Beach" has just chosen his top 10 beaches and...drumroll...Hanalei Bay in Hawaii takes top honors this year.

It's hard to argue with his pick when you consider:

White sand.

Emerald mountains.

Sparkling blue sea.

It's a gorgeous little slice of heaven and the perfect spot to swim, surf, snorkel and simply unwind.

The runner-ups on Dr. Beach's (aka Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, director of the Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research) list are Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Fla., followed by Coopers Beach in Southampton, N.Y., on Long Island; Coronado Beach in San Diego; Hamoa Beach in Maui, Hawaii; Main Beach in East Hampton, N.Y., on Long Island; Cape Hatteras in Outer Banks, N.C.; Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne, Fla.; Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod, Mass.; and Beachwalker Park on Kiawah Island, S.C.

Dr. Beach's selections are based on 50 criteria including water quality and temperature, cleanliness, weather, sand, safety and facilities.
