Coronado brings that effortless California glam to the beach scene.
Just across the bay from downtown San Diego, this island escape mixes surf, sun, and a touch of old Hollywood.
Beaches That Sparkle (Literally)
The sand at Coronado Beach shimmers thanks to its natural mica content.
It’s postcard-perfect and famously wide—ideal for long walks, beach games, and epic sandcastles.
You’ll spot locals, tourists, and the occasional film crew enjoying the scene.
With lifeguards, clean facilities, and gentle waves, it’s also super family-friendly.
Iconic Views and Casual Strolls
The boardwalk stretches along the coast, perfect for sunset walks or breezy bike rides.
You’ll have nonstop views of the Pacific, plus charming coastal homes and resort-style landscaping.
Don’t miss the views back toward the San Diego skyline—especially at golden hour.
It’s a skyline-meets-surf moment you didn’t know you needed.
Small Town Vibes, Big Personality
Orange Avenue is the main street through town, lined with boutiques, coffee shops, and ice cream spots.
You’ll find a mix of beach casual and resort chic, all within walking distance.
Grab a bite, browse local shops, or just wander.
Coronado moves slower, and that’s the charm.
