We love all of the beaches around San Diego but coronado is our favorit. We like to park near the restrooms and walk out to the water. It is very pretty and clean.

Compared to the other San Diego beaches, Coronado is probably one of the best for sunbathing & swimming. It's beautiful & not as crowded as the other beaches. We actually saw a dolphin while we were there. It's close enough to plenty of shops and restaurants too. Parking is horrendous though.

I stopped out to the beach for a stroll while visiting Coronado. My own impression of it was that it was OK, without making any special impression. The hotels nearby offered most of the "attraction" of the place. It could be a fun place for a picnic or to take the kids, but I probably wouldn't go back myself.

We were only able to walk around for an hour or so on Coronado beach during our vacation, but it was gorgeous! Look out for the sand castle man, who makes brilliant and extravagant sand castles. Water was quite cold when we went in April though so don't get too excited about swimming. Only con: everything from gas to food... More

Great clean beach with plenty of parking on the road. There are plenty of shops close by and eating houses should you need food.

there are no bad beaches on the island. these are the best beaches in San Diego, though this is not the best in Coronado. still why not see them all, then bike down the strand and see imperial beach too!

I walked this beach several times during my 6 day stay at the Del Coronado. The beach is very clean and well maintained.

Miles and miles of golden sandy beach and plenty of room for everyone. Free of hotdogs, chip or burrito sellers. Clean and absolutely lovely. You will end up parking outside people's houses on the road but there is plenty of spaces.

Went here after visiting the Hotel Del. It was so peaceful with a perfect breeze at about 70 degrees. I know it sounds crazy, but with the hotel right there, it's like your in a different time/world, like in the age of the Titanic or something of that nature. Just walking inside and outside the hotel and having a cocktail... More
