Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. That means it's time to break out the bathing suites, grab your umbrella and head to the beach. If you want to go to the best beach in the country, you will have to travel down to the Florida Keys. Siesta Beach takes the top spot, followed by Kapulua Bay Beach in Hawaii.

The list was compiled by Dr. Beach, who has been the go-to expert on U.S. beaches since 1991. He uses 50 criteria, including environmental management, amenities, and water quality to choose the best beaches in the country. 

Here is his list of the 10 best beaches in the U.S. 

  • Siesta Beach (Siesta Key, Fla.)
  • Kapalua Bay Beach (Maui, Hawaii)
  • Ocracoke Beach (Outer Banks, NC)
  • Grayton Beach State Park (Florida Panhandle)
  • Coopers Beach (Southampton, NY)
  • Coast Guard Beach (Cape Cod, Mass.)
  • Caladesi Island State Park (Dunedin-Clearwater, Fla.)
  • Hapuna Beach State Park (Big Island, Hawaii)
  • Coronado Beach (San Diego, Calif.)
