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
