"They have the best beaches."
"They have the best beaches."
The reason there is "the" in the sentence is because of "best" or "beach"? I have learned that we should put "the" in the phrase, "go to the beach" all the time, but in the sentence, we do not have to apply the rule, I think.
And is this noun phrase possible?
He is a best friend.
I think that it is okay if he is one of my best friends. What do you think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

" The reason there is "the" in the sentence is because of "best". I think that it is okay if he is one of my best friends. It is certainly common, though it defies logic.

Thank you and I know we should put "the" in "go to the beach" but isn't it possible to put "a" in front of "beach" like
I went to a beach.
I walked along a beach.
When we do not know it and do not share any information on it, I think I also can say the sentences. What do you think?
