Three Florida beaches landed on Dr. Beach’s “Top 10 Beaches of 2026” list.
St. Andrews State Park in Panama City nabbed the No. 2 spot on the list.
“St. Andrews is just east of Panama City Beach which features high-rise hotels and many built attractions like putt-putt golf courses. An inlet separates a short section of St. Andrews from the main part of the park which is only accessed by boat both ferry and private. This strikingly white sandy beach is great for shelling and bird watching. Swimming and snorkeling are popular in both the Gulf of America and St. Andrews Bay on the other side,” Dr. Beach wrote.
