Coronado Historical Association Activities   Coronado California Crown City Coastline

Coronado's wide, flat beach has gentle waves perfect for learning to surf or
boogie board. The beach consistently rates as one of the best beaches in the
world for families, and also as one of the most romantic. In the early morning
you may see Navy SEALs working out and in the evening watch spectacular
sunsets as sailboats return and cruise ships depart San Diego Bay .

Newsflash! "Dr. Beach" Stephen Letherman, Director of Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research, has ranked Coronado Beach as #2 in the USA!

Coronado Beach
The two-mile main beach has four sections. At the foot of the Coronado Shores condominium towers is South Beach where the hull of the sunken gambling ship, the Monte Carlo, can be seen at low tide. The section starting at the Hotel Del Coronado to the life guard tower is Central Beach overlooked by the mansions along Ocean Boulevard. North Beach attracts surfers in the morning and fire rings are available for bonfires. At the far north is Dog Beach where canines can play leash-free. Lifeguards are on duty; volleyball nets, restrooms and showers are available.

Silver Strand State Beach

This one of the best kiteboarding areas in Southern California , both on the relatively calm bay waters and in the ocean surf. An underpass allows access to the bayside beach and picnic area as well as Loews Coronado Bay Resort. South of the developed area, there 1.5 miles of ocean and natural preserve.
