Visiting Family That Live Here ( who have small children)

Beautiful place to come and stroll the beaches with small children. There are walking paths by Hotel Del Coronado that are wide enough for strollers or bikes with carriers for kids. It is a quaint community with good schools. You’ll see a lot of military...More

So glad we squeezed this in!

Last day in San Diego and we decided to stop by and see the beach. So glad we did! The sand felt like powder between our toes and looked like someone add some gold glitter. Well worth the trip!

How handicap friendly is it? Are there any paved paths to the beach?

June 10, 2018|

AnswerShow all 10 answers

No. There is a path at the edge of the sand, but none to the water. This concrete path runs along the edge of the sand between the hotel and the edge of the sand.
