Waveland and Gulfport were recently named two of the best beach towns in the country.

And the competition was stiff.

The folks at Stacker looked at the towns surrounding the country’s 6,397 public beaches, whether their shores lined the gulf, Great lakes or oceans. Each town’s assessment was based on beach access, length of the shoreline, indoor and outdoor family activities, weather, median home prices and the length of each town’s beach season.

Waveland ranked 53 on the list with three beaches lining 7.5 miles, an average swim season of 213 days and median home price of $201,755.

Gulfport ranked 81 on the list with four beaches covering 7.5 miles, an average swim season that matched Waveland and a median home price of $181,000.

Gulfport and Waveland ranked higher than Gulf Breeze, Florida (number 83), Hilton Head Island, South Carolina (97th on the list), and four Hawaiian towns.

In addition, Waveland outranked Grand Isle, Louisiana ( 58th), Norfolk, Virginia (number 64), San Diego, California (78th) and a host of Florida cities, including Navarre, Tampa, Sarasota, Saint Petersburg and Clearwater.
