It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday. You can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him: Stephen Leatherman, the coastal scientist better known by his totally tubular nickname, “Dr. Beach,” is back with his annual ranking of the best seasides in the US.

  2. St. Andrews State Park, Panama City, Florida
  3. Caladesi Island State Park, Dunedin, Florida
