Pictures: Dr. Beach names Top 10 beaches in 2015
Dr. Beach has this to say about the beach: “This park has ample parking, restrooms, outdoor showers, and an excellent beach for swimming. While not as stunning as some other Hawaiian beaches, it is a safe beach because big waves and dangerous currents are rare and lifeguards are present. Hawaiians who live on Oahu frequent this beach.” (Naomi Hayes / Getty Images / Flickr RF)

Ranked No. 4 on the 2015 Dr. Beach best beaches in the U.S. list. This Hawaiian beach is on Maui. It’s about nine miles south of Hana. If you’re making the drive on the famous Road to Hana, Hamoa could be a lovely refresher. (Ron Dahlquist / Associated Press)
Dr. Beach has this to say about the beach: “Bulging far offshore of the mainland coast as a barrier island, Cape Hatteras was the first National Seashore. Providing some of the best board surfing along the East Coast, as well as the most famous lighthouse in the United States, Cape Hatteras attracts beachgoers to its historic fishing villages. Nature lovers adore the excellent beachcombing and superb fishing.” (Joe Sohm/Getty)
