Dr. Beach Names America's Best Beach 2013: Main Beach in
East Hampton, New York
Main Beach is located in
East Hampton on eastern Long
Island, New York. This idyllic
beach is frequented by the rich
and famous who so highly regard
their beach that Leatherman has
seen even super models picking
up litter washed ashore from the
sea. This beach was heavily
eroded by Super Storm Sandy and
subsequent winter storms, yet it
has largely recovered. The proud
pavilion at Main Beach was
little affected because it was
set back several hundred feet
from the water’s edge. A great
team of lifeguards stands watch,
making this a very safe beach
for bathing and swimming.

Dr. Beach's Water Tracer is a method of
detecting surface water currents,
especially life-threatening rip currents
at surf beaches, has been
developed. The water tracer is
bio-degradable and non-toxic.
RIP CURRENTS
are powerful currents of water moving away from
the shore, capable of sweeping even the
strongest swimmers out to sea and are often
called "killer currents" for a good reason.
Although estimates vary, rip currents are
responsible for approximately 150 deaths every
year in the US and likely thousands worldwide.
Through raising awareness and increasing
understanding, we seek to dramatically reduce
the number of fatalities from this lurking
danger. For more information about rip
currents and beach safety, please visit www.ripcurrents.com
