If you want a family friendly beach, look no further than the Coronado Beach. Located on an island just minutes from downtown, you will love this idyllic setting full of beauty and friendly people.
Sitting on the warm sand, you'll have a lovely view of Point Loma and the historic and enchanting Hotel Del Coronado, pictured at the right. The Del was built in 1888 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. You may recognize it from the movie, Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
Walk the shore at sunset and you'll see why Travelocity.com rates the beaches of Coronado #3 for "Most Romantic Beaches." See, there is a way to combine romance with a family vacation!
Whether you swim, sunbathe, sail, fish, bike, skate, golf or play tennis, Coronado is a memorable family destination. It's quaint and affluent, but not uppity. Home to North Island Naval Air Station and the Naval Amphibious Base, the island is proud to be American.
