<i><a href="http://www.drbeach.org/">"Dr. Beach,"</a> also known as Stephen Leatherman, is director of Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research. He uses 50 criteria in selecting the best beaches — including water and sand quality, facilities and environmental management — and his picks always attract nationwide notice. (We think he has an East Coast bias, but at least one California beach always shows up on the list.)</i>
