Dr. Beach's "Best Beaches in America" 2010 Top pick for 2010 is Cooper's Beach, the main beach in the village of Southampton on Long Island. "Dr. Beach" is Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, an expert scientist who for over 20 years has studied shore erosion and storm impacts. He's also a scientist who'll pose on the sand with stethoscope, medical bag, and conch shell. Click above for his Best Beaches of 2010, along with some tips for families visiting these areas. Fort Lauderdale -- See Sea Turtles Fort Lauderdale, 23 miles north of Miami, is a major cruise port, upscale playground, the "Venice of America" -- not necessarily the place you associate with hatching sea turtles. Yet every year, thousands of giant turtles crawl onto the beaches at night and lay eggs in the sand; weeks later, tiny hatchlings dig out and dash to the sea. This summer, families can choose from several inexpensive guided tours that --hopefully-- will show visitors the awesome sight of a giant sea turtle making her nest. One tour lets visitors watch a hatchling release.
