Question: How long is Coronado Beach from Base to Base?

One of our members emailed us and asked:

How long is Coronado Beach from where the Naval Amphibious Base meets the Shores Beach to where Dog Beach meets the barrier at Naval Air Station North Island? Basically, from base to base, how far is it?

We contacted the City of Coronado and Dave Johnson (City Engineer) was able to provide the answer:

8200 feet or 1.55 miles.

So, the next time you are walking or running along the beach, remember that if you go from base to base and back again, you just exercised over 3 miles!
