Dr. Beach releases 2008 list of top beaches.
Posted May 23, 2008 @ 8:37 am, Viewed by 679 Visitors, Read 691 Times.It's that time of year. Memorial Day is almost here. It is time for Dr. Beach's annual list of America's top beaches. Making this list often results in additional tourist income for the areas selected. This is the second year in a row the Outer Banks has made the list of top beaches. Last year's #1 beach, Ocracoke Island had a significant increase in visitors.
Dr. Beach is also known as Dr. Stephen Leatherman. He uses over 50 criteria to assess the beast beach in America. His 50 criteria include: air temperature, water temperature, wildlife, number of sunny days, and amount of rain just to name a few. After he compiles his data his yearly list is released. His #1 beach this year was Caladesi Island in Clearwater Florida.
Cape Hatteras made the list at #8 this year. Why not as high as the #1 ranking from Ocracoke last year, it is still a very respectable finish for the National Seashore. For the last two years Dr. Beach has been trying to give out the secret on the beaches of the National Seashore. Whether it will be an increase for the Outer Banks is yet to be seen. Hopefully, it will bring more visitors to the beaches of the Outer Banks.
