Dr. Beach's Top Picks for 2012
"Dr. Beach" is Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, an expert scientist who for many years has studied shore erosion, storm impacts, and other aspects of beaches. He's also a scientist who'll pose on the sand with a stethoscope, and who has a deep love for beaches and their restorative effect on body and soul. Dr. Beach uses 50 "beach criteria" to "diagnose" a shore and this year, his Top Ten list of "America's Best Beaches" puts San Diego's Coronado Beach in first spot.
