About Coronado Tidelands Park & Beach

Coronado Tidelands Park is a 22-acre bayside treasure located at the foot of the soaring San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Offering a peaceful sandy beach on San Diego Bay without waves, extensive grassy recreation fields, pirate-ship play structures, a skate park, and direct access to the Bayshore Bikeway, it is a favorite for local families, morning runners, and sunset picnickers.

Local Beach Tip: Ride the bike path straight from the Ferry Landing through Tidelands Park under the Coronado Bridge for the most scenic morning flat cycling route.
