“The easy beachbreak of The Shores, south of the Hotel del Coronado, invites longboarders & bodyboarders to enjoy softer waves at the more peaceful southern reaches of Coronado’s City Beach. It’s a good place to enjoy the small-town charm of the ‘island’ and escape the crowds of visitors that flock to the central and northern beaches. A few parking areas west of Silver Strand Boulevard offer easy access to the sandy coastal walk, with crisp ocean breezes and uninterrupted sunset views. Looking for a romantic sunset stroll? I always start here and enjoy the length of City Beach.” Sandbag C. Gull
