Dr. Beach has now verified what most of us have known for years, that St. George Island has some of the best beaches in the country.
The beach at the St. George Island state park was ranked the 4th best beach in the US in the 2021 Top 10 Beaches ranking produced by coastal expert Dr. Stephen Leatherman.
The island actually made the top 10 list once before in the 1990’s but was taken off after a hurricane damaged the island.
This year’s top beach is Hapuna State Park in Hawaii, followed by Coopers Beach in New York, and Ocracoke Beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
St. George Island State Park came next and the top ten is rounded out by Lighthouse Beach in North Carolina, Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Hawaii, Caladesi Island State Park in Florida, Coronado Beach in California, Beachwater Park in South Carolina and Coast Guard Beach in Massachusetts
“Dr. Beach,” uses fifty criteria to evaluate the beaches, including water and sand quality, as well as the number of facilities nearby and environmental management.
And don’t forget our other world-class beach while you are out and about this Summer – the beach at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Gulf County was ranked the top beach in the nation in 2002.
