Hanauma Bay became a marine life conservation area and underwater park in 1967. In 1990, local officials formulated a plan to better protect the area. All first-time visitors who come to the popular snorkeling spot are required to watch an informational video that teaches them about preservation and conservation, as well as the safety rules for the bay. It's against the law to mistreat any marine life in the bay, and visitors are not allowed to touch or walk on the coral reefs.

Besides Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Massachusetts, California and New York were represented on the list.

The complete list of top beaches:

• Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii

• Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Florida
  

• Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui
