'Dr. Beach' a.k.a. Dr. Stephen Leatherman a.k.a. a brilliant Professor at FIU has been an avid beach traveler long enough to be one of the worlds experts on the sandy shorelines.
On last years of best beaches, Florida dominated with our beautiful shores, but this year is different. Dr. Beach only has 2 Florida beaches on his list.
I know, I know. I am a bit torn too *insert Natalie Imbrugila*
