Coronado Beach
A wide white-sand beach that regularly ranks among America’s best. Mica in the sand glitters, with the red-roofed Hotel del Coronado rising behind it.
Coronado Beach lies on the west coast of Coronado Island, across San Diego Bay. The beach is wide and gently sloping with small waves, making it good for family wading and strolling. Mica in the sand sparkles golden in the sunlight. At the north end is a dog beach, and beyond it lies a naval air station. You can bike around the island or browse the shops and restaurants along Orange Avenue. Getting there: take a ferry from the downtown pier for about 15 minutes to the Coronado Ferry Landing, then bike or take a bus. If driving, cross the San Diego–Coronado Bridge, which offers great views.
