After a year of pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions, Stephen “Dr. Beach” Leatherman hopes his 30th annual list of the best beaches in the Unites.
Hapuna Beach State Park was ranked the best beach in the U.S. in Leatherman s review of sandy shorelines for 2021.
Leatherman, a coastal scientist and professor at Florida International University, hopes his 30th annual list will encourage people to get out and leave the past year of pandemic struggles in the rearview mirror.
He acknowledged that people will have to pay extra to get tested for COVID-19 before coming to the islands. “Hawaii is a really special place, and so I think it’s worth it, he said.
Kandi Miranda, who owns Manuela Malasada Company and runs a food truck near Hapuna Beach State Park, was born and raised on the Big Island. She was able to stay open for locals throughout the pandemic and is optimistic about the return of visitors.
‘It’s like an oasis,’ Stephen Leatherman says of Hapuna Beach State Park, which he ranks the best beach in the United States in his just-released ‘Dr. Beach’ 2021 rankings.
