Picture Perfect October Day at Coronado Beach
Posted by Jody on October 23, 2015
If you’re a beach lover visiting the San Diego area, Coronado Beach certainly needs to be on your “to-do” list! Better yet, make Coronado your destination and have San Diego be the extra thing “to-do.” Coronado Central Beach is one of the most spectacularly wide stretches of soft golden sand we’ve ever visited. It’s definitely worth the trip. And that trip gets even better if you take the 15-minute Coronado Ferry ride across the bay from San Diego’s Broadway Pier.
Coronado’s pristine Central Beach lies along Ocean Boulevard where you just might find free parking – if you don’t choose the ferry ride. You’ll have to be an early bird (or just really, really lucky) to get a nearby parking spot on the weekend. Public restrooms are available and helpful, friendly lifeguards are on duty into the evening hours.
Beach accessible wheelchairs are available to the public, free of charge, at the Central Beach Lifeguard Tower.
Coronado Beach is a great family beach. Even Fido is welcome at the far north end of the strand.
It’s no wonder Dr. Beach proclaimed Coronado Beach “America’s Best Beach” in 2012!
We joined a few folks who were busy tide pooling at the riprap in front of “The Del” during low tide. Little bitty sand dollars were the prized beach treasures on this absolutely gorgeous October day.
~~~ Have a great day at the beach! ~~~

When my son was younger, we’d take the Coaster from Carlsbad to San Diego and walk over to the ferry and go to Coronado and spend the day at a different beach than our own for a mini-adventure. Such good memories!
