City View Reviews the Best Beaches in the U.S.

Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park, Bonita Springs, Florida

City View loves the shores and beaches of the United States and is proud to highlight some of the best.

World-famous beach expert, Stephen Leatherman, aka “Dr. Beach”, has released his list of the top ten beaches in the U.S. As we are headquartered in Florida, we are proud that four out of the ten beaches on this list are located in our state. Criteria used by Dr. Beach included 50 factors which included water quality, safety, available activities and environmental factors. Some of the locales below also offer great amenities such as outdoor showers, changing rooms, picnic areas and nearby restaurants.

Waimanalo Bay Beach Park Oahu, Hawaii – The beach is five miles long, off the beaten track and its backdrop are the spectacular mountain ranges behind it. Clear turquoise water and soft, sandy beaches makes this local’s favorite a great place to visit.

Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park, Bonita Springs, Florida – The name says it all about this gorgeous beach. White, super soft sand and gentle waves make this long park an ideal place to go barefoot all day long.

St. George Island State Park, Florida – Located in the panhandle, its whisper soft sand is haven to feet. There are lots of pathways through the dunes leading to the shore. It’s such an inviting place to swim that stingrays can be seen in the shallow, warm water. Shuffle your feet to scatter them.

Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii – Cliffs and palm trees and colorful vegetation frame this small beach. Coal and lava sand make this spot famous. But it takes nerves of steel to get there by the “Road of Hana” which has drop-offs of over 1,000 feet and more than 50 one-way bridges.

Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, North Carolina – Cape Hatteras was the first National Seashore in the U.S. This spot on the Atlantic coast is one of the best for board surfing. It is also a prime beach for shell collecting, fishing, and enjoying lazy, relaxed days on the shore. Be sure to visit its historic lighthouse.

City View encourages readers to enjoy these idyllic beaches as well as the other five on the list: Cape Florida State Park, Biscayne, Florida, Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Naples Florida, East Beach, Santa Barbara, California.
