Widely considered one of the top ten beaches in the US, Coronado Municipal Beach's wide sand provides plenty of space. The northern end, "North Beach," is dog-friendly and popular for surfing in the summer. The main part, "Central Beach," runs along Ocean Boulevard south to the famous Hotel Del Coronado. Because it's the easiest to get to, it's also the most crowded. The shops and restaurants of Coronado are walkable from here and there's a public parking lot next to the Del. It is considered most romantic at sunset and a popular spot for professional photographs.
