EASTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Looking for a spot to cool off and lounge this Memorial Day weekend? You may want to check out one of the hottest beaches in the country.

That’s according to Dr. Beach, a site that ranks the nation’s best beaches every year.

The list is put together by a coastal expert, Dr. Stephen Leatherman, who is a professor at Florida International University.
