Cape Cod’s Coast Guard Beach Named one of Dr. Beach’s Top Ten 2009
Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod may lack the tropical temperature of a Hawaiian beach, but according to “Dr. Beach” Stephen P. Leatherman, it’s good enough to make his 2009 list of top 10 beaches. Coast Guard Beach comes in at the No. 9 spot.

Top on Dr. Beach’s list is Hanalei Bay, a two-mile crescent-shaped beach on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. “The sheer beauty of Hanalei Bay is breathtaking,” said Leatherman, director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research. “It’s really an idyllic setting.” The complete list is as follows:
Dr. Beach’s 2009 Top Ten Beaches:
1. Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii
2. Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Fla.
3. Coopers Beach, Southampton, N.Y.
4. Coronado Beach, San Diego
5. Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii
6. Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.
7. Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, N.C.
8. Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Fla.
9. Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod
10. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.
Located in the Cape Cod National Seashore, Coast Guard Beach offers ramps, showers, parking, and even an over-sand wheelchair. It’s also got enough wave action that at least two surfing Web sites have webcams trained on it at all times.
