Resort Beach with Scenic View
Coronado City Beach is a resort-style beach, with the Del Coronado Hotel and shops nearby in Downtown Coronado's Orange Ave. The walk to the beach from the street is somewhat long, where you make your way through sanddunes.
When you get to Coronado Beach, you can't help but be taken in by the beauty. From the frontage street, you'll see the sanddunes in the foreground with the flat beach beyond it. The sanddunes actually spell out the word "Coronado". You get the sense that this beach is very wide. Beyond the beach, you can see the Coronado Islands as well as sail boats, sometimes clustered together.
