Do you have a favorite beach you’re excited to visit this summer? It might be on this list of best beaches ranked by Dr. Beach. Yes, he is a real person and an expert when it comes to, well, beaches.⁠ ⁠ Among the 50 factors he takes into account to produce the annual list is, in fact, whether a beach forbids cigarette smoking to prevent discarded butts, as well as sand type, wave action, whether lifeguards are present, presence of wildlife, the level of development, and crowding, among others.⁠ ⁠ The top prize went to St. George Island State Park in Florida this year.
