White sand beaches, yep. I was looking on the 'net, "Dr. Beach" (Stephen Leatherman, world's expert on beaches, nee of University of Maryland and now at one of the Florida universities) no longer lists Grayton Beach as one of his top ten beaches of the world, ostensibly because of a couple of hurricanes which he said spoiled such amenities as piers and docks. Hah! Tell me another one, Doc. I bet a hundred dollars he found out how much the locals hate to have their favorite beaches swarming with tourists. There are tourist beaches and there are local beaches. Last year I had one local beach almost all to myself for two hours, between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. A few people walked on the shore, maybe four other people in the water swimming. The water was like liquid emeralds. It was a state park, so no condos on the sand for quite some distance. Heaven. Sugar white sand, yes. Bathhouses, so you can wash off the sand, yes. And toilets so you don't have to pee in the ocean.
