Coronado has many beautiful
parks and beaches. Click on each park name below for location and pictures. Our
beach guide denotes each location and available amenities.
NOTICE:
Coronado's beach is open as of June 2 from 6 a.m. to sunset for limited active and passive use, including sunbathing and relaxing with towels and chairs with members of your household unit. Group activities at the beach are not allowed. The City asks the community to heed social distancing and sanitation measures when at the beach.
The Port of San Diego has reopened San Diego Bay for recreational water sports. The reopening of the beach and bay was the first phase of a coordinated, multi-phase reopening plan by the City, other coastal cities, and state and regional agencies. City parks also have reopened to individuals sitting or eating or members of the same household group gathering for a picnic or sports. The City will be monitoring parks for compliance. Face masks are required if you are within 6 feet of others in a public setting.
The City of Coronado requires any gatherings or events, outside of your
family unit, to obtain an event permit. We are currently permitting for
wedding ceremonies and celebration of life events. Guest count must be 25
and under and no equipment or décor may be used. Please call the Coronado
rentals at (619) 522-2641 or email rentals@coronado.ca.us
for permitting questions. Our
parks guide has additional information regarding permits, dogs, restroom facilities, and playgrounds.
Permits and questions regarding Tidelands Park and Grand Caribe Shoreline Park are fielded through the San Diego Port District. Please call (619) 686-6200.
