Ocracoke Island Ranked #1 Beach in America 2007!
Dr. Stephen J. Leatherman, also known as "Dr. Beach" has chosen Ocracoke as the "Best Beach in America for 2007". This announcement was made on June 8 on the Today Show, live from Ocracoke.
"Leatherman's list of America's Best Beaches has become to seashore what the Oscar is to actors and movies." -- The Tampa Tribune-Times
"Gazing out to sea, he wiggles his toes in the sand. Next he turns his face up to the sun. He may also have to swim a little to make sure the water's okay. And if he's happy another beach may have made Leatherman's much vaunted America's Best Beaches list." -- People Magazine
Congratulations to our neighbors in Ocracoke! This is a wonderful honor for the Outer Banks!
