Caladesi Island State Park Beach, Dunedin, Florida
Because it is.
No, seriously - why not some of the beautiful beaches in Hawaii! Truth be told, most of America's #1 beaches as named by Dr. Beach since 1991 ARE in Hawaii - the first one, Kapalua Bay Beach, and 11 others - so Hawaii has had 2/3 of the top beaches. But now to the reason they're not #1 now ...
According to the rules of Dr. Beach, once a beach has been #1, it is excluded from consideration in future years (it does make some sense - after all, who would be interested in a list that had the same winner 20 years in a row?). Florida has actually had 6 winners and North Carolina one. For the rest of the story ...

Now I know where I want to go when I get a week (or LONG TIME) off! Thanks for reminding me of Florida's beaches. I love the Anna Maria Island beaches...lemonade...a cool breeze...
jane Anne - Anna Maria Island has resisted the lines of highrises, so it a nice place to get away.
