Dr. Beach names Siesta Beach #1
The Number One Beach in the World is a hop and a skip from Englewood, North Port and Port Charlotte Siesta Beach is the number one beach in the 21st annual Top 10 Beach list produced by coastal expert Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research.
