GLORIETTA BAY BEACH features bonfire cement containers on the beach. They
are free, fun and one of many
beach bonfire locations in California.
Overlooking some stunning scenery
that includes the Glorietta Bay, harbor, Coronado San Diego Bay Bridge that
keeps kids awestruck with its tall sweeping lines and San Diego skyline,
this beach is small but offers one of the best vistas for an evening
gathering..
Coronado enjoys large tourist crowds
across the street and up the hill at the nearby Hotel del Coronado. It is
the jewel of San Diego hotels and has hosted kings, queens and movie stars
such as Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, who worked on location to film a
classic movie, Some Like it Hot.
But down the hill overlooking this gem
is the Glorietta Bay Park and
Beach, ideal for average folks who want to have fun and don't require the
diamonds and gold to bring joy. A simple beach bonfire offers one of the
greatest delights you can experience and the Glorietta Bay offers two
advantages for this fun entertainment. First, it is somewhat protected from
the stronger winds that come on shore across the street and south a mile or
two at Silver Strand State Beach that fronts the Pacific Ocean. It also
enjoys the mildest temperatures in the U.S. and possibly anywhere on Earth.
San Diego is known for its climate and an entire industry was built around
it, tourism.
When visiting and playing at Glorietta
Bay, you need to put your bonfires out before the beach closes at 11 p.m.
The city allows for groups of 25 - 100 people to reserve space at this park
but you'll have to pay a permit fee. The last time we checked it was around
$100. Specific information is available at wwww.coronado.ca.us
