Most locals know that the sand dunes on Coronado beach spell C-O-R-O-N-A-D-O....but do you know who made them? Let's hope someone offers this artist a quick flight to view it from the air. Update - read the below comments to see that Armando got his much deserved flight.

Today is the perfect day for Armando Moreno, the man responsible for the sand dunes that spell out CORONADO, to see his creation for the very 1st time from the air. My husband and daughter Britt and Molly Cooper are up right now flying Armando over the Coronado beach that just today was announced the #2 best beach in America. Please view the video about Armando’s sand dune and ice plant creation so that you understand how special seeing this from the air is to him. I will post pictures once they are out of the sky!
