The 10 best beaches in the US
Each year, Steve Leatherman—also known as Dr. Beach—evaluates America's seashores based on criteria like water, safety and sand quality. This year's list just came out, and unsurprisingly, the top ten is stacked with strips of sand in Hawaii the Carolinas, and Florida—which, with three beaches in the top ten, had more than any other state. This post was originally published in May 2015. It has been updated with new information.

10. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina
