(CNN) – Summer is just around the corner and the best beaches in the United States attract you.

For the # 1 beach in the US, travelers will need to book a trip to Oahu.

Kailua Beach Park is the best beach in the United States in 2019, according to coastal science professor Stephen P. Leatherman.

Leatherman, also known as Dr. Beach, has published an annual list of the major seaside destinations in the United States since 1991. Leatherman is director of the Coastal Research Laboratory at Florida International University.
How is the # 1 Beach of 2019 so special? Gentle waves run along the white sand coral beach of Kailua Beach Park in Oahu. Swimming and kayaking are excellent here.

Kayak rentals are available so you can paddle to the offshore islands. The beach park also offers free parking, bathrooms, picnic tables and volleyball courts. Rescuers are also posted.

In addition, the showers on the beach allow you to cool off a bit and go directly to the village of Kailua for a drink and a good meal.

Kailua Beach Park has hit the Hawaiian shoreline, Kapalua Bay Beach in Maui, out of first place this year. In 2017, Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Florida, rose to the top spot. Hanauma Bay in Oahu was the best beach in 2016.

Leatherman evaluates ranges using 50 criteria – from soft sand and water temperature to tear currents, pests and litter.
In North Carolina, Outer Banks, windswept, was ranked # 2 in 2019 with Ocracoke Lifeguarded Beach. Accessible only by boat, Ocracoke Island is a great place to spend time at the really quiet beach.
At No. 3 in the 2019 list, the Grayton Beach State Park, in the Florida Panhandle, offers nearly 2,000 acres of exploration opportunities.

In addition to its pristine coastline, the park offers cottages, campgrounds, over four miles of coastal forest trails and Western Lake – a coastal dune lake – for fishing and paddling.

The 10 largest beaches in the United States, as well as hundreds of others, will soon welcome sun and sand lovers in the summer. It's time to plan your escape.
