A Clean Beach: Three Examples of the Cleanest Beaches in America

The Cleanest Beaches And How To Sustain These Resources

This summer, many families and individuals enjoy traveling to the beach for vacation.  Do you know some of the top-ranked beaches determined by their beauty and cleanliness?  Below, Grady Management highlights some of the cleanest identified beaches by the U.S. News and World Report and subsequently discuss tips and strategies to protect these beaches:

1) Maui: Located in the Pacific Ocean, Maui is an island of the Hawaiian Island Chain.  The island as a whole is known for beauty and idyllic scenery, with lush valleys and waterfalls.  The many beaches on Maui even feature, in some cases, different toned sand.

2) Outer Banks: The Outer Banks, located off the coast of North Carolina and a small portion of Virginia, separate the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland of North Carolina.  In addition to the beautiful beaches that line the islands and peninsulas, The Outer Bank has a vibrant history as well: for example, the Southern Outer Banks served as the final hideout of infamous pirate Edward Teach- better known by the identity of Blackbeard.

3) Miami Beach: A resort city located off of Miami, Florida, Miami Beach has been a tourist destination since the 20th century.  The beaches are known for clear water and white, soft sand.

Green Tips for Improving Beaches:

1) Clean up litter when visiting the beach.
2) Pack light on beach vacations and only bring what is necessary to the shore.
3) Learn proper fishing and boating techniques to maintain the natural habitat of all animals and plants.
