Coronado City Beach, Sandy beach in San Diego County, United States
The 1.75-mile stretch of Coronado City Beach features golden sand containing mineral mica particles that create a distinctive glittering effect along the Pacific shore.
The United States Navy established military facilities on both edges of Coronado City Beach, integrating the coastal area into national defense infrastructure since World War II.
The beach gained international recognition through the 1958 film 'Some Like It Hot', starring Marilyn Monroe, with scenes filmed near the Hotel del Coronado.
The beach provides year-round lifeguard supervision at Central Beach station, with additional seasonal towers monitoring Public Beach and Glorietta Bay during summer months.
The sand at Coronado City Beach contains a high concentration of mineral mica, creating a natural sparkling effect that distinguishes it from other California coastal areas.
