Coronado Beaches
Wide and uncrowded, Coronado beaches are the perfect
outdoor playgrounds for kids and adults. The
Southern California weather is temperate and from
mid-April through late September the water is warm
and the surf mild. The sand appears to sparkle,
which is actually the presence of the mineral Mica,
also known as sugar sand. Here is a list of the most
popular sandy spots:
Coronado Central Beach

homes and mansions all the way south to the Shores
Condominiums. Restrooms and shower facilities.
