Beach, with its white sand and black lava rocks, “is a perfect place to swim, snorkel or scuba dive.” </span> <span data-start-time='27104' data-end-time='32479'>On big wave days, try the boogie boards, he added.</span> <span data-start-time='32479' data-end-time='43854'>Visitors to Hawaii and its beaches, however, are required to get tested for COVID-19 whether they are vaccinated or not. </span> <span data-start-time='43854' data-end-time='52354'>“Hawaii is a really special place, and so I think it’s worth it,” he told the Associated Press.</span> <span data-start-time='52354'

data-start-time='86813' data-end-time='96375'>“Dr. Beach” is also known as Stephen Leatherman, a professor at Florida International University. </span> <span data-start-time='96375' data-end-time='104250'>Leatherman has reviewed and rated beaches around the world for over 30 years.</span> <span data-start-time='104250' data-end-time='110875'>Leatherman uses 50 criteria to come up with his yearly lists. </span> <span data-start-time='110875' data-end-time='120146'>They include cleanliness, smell, sand quality, water temperature and safety.</span> <span data-start-time='120146' data-end-time='128250'>Recently, Leatherman has added a new one on whether smoking is permitted on the beach.</span> <span data-start-time='128250' data-end-time='133875'>“First of all, it’s a health issue,” he said of cigarette smoke. </span> <span data-start-time='133875' data-end-time='140125'>And he worried that people would leave cigarette waste on beaches.</span> <span data-start-time='140125' data-end-time='150750'>The other top beaches on this year’s list include Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Hawaii and Coopers Beach in New York. </span> <span data-start-time='150750'
