Dr. Beach says Siesta Beach in Sarasota,Florida is #1

I don’t know if any of you have ever heard of a guy by the name of Dr. Stephen Leatherman who’s better known as “Dr. Beach”.

He’s a professor and Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University. He has a Ph.D. in Environmental (Coastal) Sciences  along with all of these other fancy titles and to make a long story short he makes it his business to see where the best beaches are located in America and in many other parts of the world. He even helps the super rich pick what private islands they should buy.

I use to be into this guy a little over a decade ago because I was previously the owner of a little vacation rental site named 4BeachNuts.com (well,not that little :) which we also provided all kinds of information about The Best Beaches in the World. He actually wrote to me a few times and I wonder if he remembers me? 

Anyway,I was wondering what beach made his number #1 list this year for “The Best Beach In America”and turns out its Siesta Beach in Sarasota,Florida.

He says Siesta Beach has the finest powdery whitest sand in the “world”,nearly pure crystals.  The water and waves are usually safe for swimming and very clean and clear so I can only imagine it calls out to you.

Is it calling out to you?

If so,what would it be saying?
