The beach was so clean and everyone friendly. I want to give a special shout out to a lifeguard named Juan. My son got stung by a stingray, and he was the sweetest lifeguard and showed kindness and professionalism in helping my son remain calm (even though he was in a lot of pain!) He came by to check on him quite a few times and always delivered hot water for his foot (remedy for stingray treatment) overall I would definitely recommend this beach and wanted to thank Juan for his help! read more

Great beach, it's clean and mostly uncrowded. There is a Navy lodge close by and beach bungalows. It's been a little windy when we have gone but not too bad. The water is really cold but still fun. We had a great time. read more

Breakers Beach - Sand castle - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

Best beach! Clean bathrooms and huge beach! Lots of parking. Volleyball nets an fire pits available.

Cool beach on Naval Base Coronado. Was cloudy when we went but so much open beach space, beach equipment rentals and a large parking lot. Will head back and take more pictures when we go and it's sunny out. read more

This is a very nice private military beach. You can only get on the speech of your part of the military or know someone in the military. I really enjoy the speech because it's very private, very nice, and very clean. Before the COVID-19 you were able to rent very nice rooms on the beach. Since COVID-19 has been around you can a longer rent the rooms. You can still come to the beach and enjoy it which is great because we really liked him in here. Beach: the sand is so nice. The stand is very beautiful here. So is the water, the water is very nice in the sunsets here are absolutely immaculate. I saw lots of military guys and gals barbecuing, starting bonfires. I am really glad our military gift to take advantage of the nice private beach is like this. If you have a chance to check the speech out I highly recommend doing so. He will not be disappointed. Very private, very nice, and simply beautiful sunset. This will be one of our go to beaches in San Diego for a long time. read more

This is a cool beach to go to, if you're able to access it. The lifeguards that were around (not all of the towers were open) were cool to deal with. The base police drove by a couple of times, but they never stopped to talk. We frolicked out over by the cottages and rental cabanas, and there were no public showers or restrooms available, but I think there are some if you're over on the other side of the Navy Lodge. The sand is fine and the waves were less than 3' and very kid friendly. Parking can be a hassle some times, though there is overflow parking one block away. The reason I'm giving five stars is because you're able to drink on the beach! You can't say that about many places in San Diego! read more

Covid #13 #THANKYOUTHURSDAY edition. What a great military beach! When I was starting to fall into a little bit of depression from not being able to be in nature and a healthy environment like our San Diego shores, you were a relief for my mind, body and soul. This was the last beach I was allowed to lay on when we were in covid. You provide us , through the beach access, with the means to fight off depression, infection, stress and more. You increase our seratonin, vitamin D levels and more! It's true! https://www.thefactsite.com/beach-health-benefits/ It pays to be family with a US Military. I know you have since stopped allowing sitting or laying, but I hope that others can enjoy this freedom again soon not only at breakers, but across all of our shores. God bless America!!! read more

Breakers Beach - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

With breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Who doesn't or, what's not to love about this place. Access to the beach can only be gained by first gaining access onboard Naval Station North Island. Once on the base. It's about a five to seven minute drive via Rogers Road to make it to the beach. But once there, you'll be glad you made the voyage. Peaceful and for the most part, undisturbed by too many people. Breakers Beach offers fantastic views of: the Pacific Ocean, Point Loma and its lighthouse and Hotel Coronado. Bonus views you'll get are: Military Hilo crews training off the beach and if its your lucky day. The chance to watch one of the several aircraft carriers leaving or coming home from North Island. Besides the fantastic views. Beach amenities include: Fire-pits for those barn fires. Permeant B-B-Q grills on the beach. Covered picnic and Tiki type seats on the beach. The beach is an arms length from the Navy Lodge rooms and, there is a lifeguard station with life guards on duty until sunset (I believe). Breakers Beach is definitely worthy of visit. If you don't have access to North Island Navy Base. I recommend using one of your lifelines to get onboard the installation so you can, check this place out. read more

Awesome place to go! Very peaceful and private area with burn pits and plenty of things to do

We came here for a family reunion picnic. There are cabanas available for rental that are a ways back from the beach/ocean water itself. The beach isn't too crowded since it's accessible only by military and their dependants so that makes it a big plus.The sand on this beach is so soft and whaaaaaaaaaaaa: is that GOLD GLITTER I SEE IN THE SAND? HOW PRETTY! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Ltn5eGhIS8TaD_cEwQzTfw?select=o4CJbb3J9O8FaR5u_pgt_w#o4CJbb3J9O8FaR5u_pgt_w read more

Breakers Beach - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

Came here for the first time the other day expecting the beach to be, since it's a Navy Base, lame. However, the set up and location of Breakers is pretty awesome and I'm a huge fan of how never busy it really is. Full Cabanas to be used, volleyball courts, and a great place to hang out. Coronado is great but I'm a huge fan of Breakers! read more

Since this beach is not dog friendly, my human parents left me home for this one. No worries though, because between me and you, I don't like the water. So my peoples headed to the beach around 12 pm and rented boards from Island Surf which is also on the island. Coronado is just a rich and beautiful place full of activity. You have to go through the main gates on the weekend, because gates 2 & 5 are closed. Easy drive up to the parking lot to find a spot, and a small walk through the dense hot sand to get a spot. There were a lot of people out there but since its military only , it wasn't crowded. So much space that you have groups bbqing and pitching tents without invading others space. You can see the divided fence that separate the public and military beach, and boy was it overcrowded on the public. It's Cali, so of course the water is cold. Waves were great for beginner surfers and boogy boarders. The beach does have small baby stingy rays, so make sure you shuffle your feet instead you walking through the water as it get late in the day (4:30) were tides get higher and start to push them inland more read more

Breakers Beach - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

Awesome. Just awesome. We had our department picnic here, and the environs were very nice. It feels like a private beach - and in a way, it is. You can only get here if you're either an active duty member, a dependent, or an employee of the Dept. of Defense (of which I'm the latter). Plenty of space out here to walk around, a really nice beach house area (which seems to be used for storage at the moment), and a very clean beach. One of the best in San Diego - too bad it's out of the way for me normally, otherwise I'd be out here more often! read more

This is a nice beach - private access only for those with base access to NASNI and plenty of parking. I stopped in during off-season late in the afternoon around sunset so I'm sure my experience was a bit off the typical but I enjoyed easy parking and a nice quiet walk to the mostly deserted beach. It's pretty clean and well-kept as far as I can tell. Very pretty. read more

Such a great beach! We really enjoyed our time spent here. We enjoyed playing soccer on the beach, and strolling up, and down the soft sand at the water's edge! Such a fantastic time... I really enjoyed the beautiful glittering gold sand with its amazing, almost surreal tiger striped tan and black stripes! I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming!! It was neat to watch all the Military aircraft flying all around! I later found out that, North Island is the birthplace of Naval Aviation. It all made for a very memorable experience! Cheers! read more

It's a nice military only beach. We enjoyed a quiet beach day when we went, which is a far cry from our usual beach days in PB. I did not like how far through the sand you have to walk to get to the water. I prefer much shorter stretches. Did find loads of great shells and sand dollars at this beach. Way more than I have found anywhere else. If you're military and want a quiet beach, this is the place for you. The women's bathroom was gross. They really need an actual changing area, not just the nasty toilet area. read more

Breakers Beach - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

What more can you say, easy parking, clean beach, military community, and outdoor showers. Public bathroom offers fairly easy place to change clothes. Being on a military installation made me very comfortable leaving our things on the beach. Would definitely come back here if I return to vacation in SD again. read more

"When the current drags me in "leave me to the hands of men "I get so uptight, I get so uptight "I get so uptight, I get so uptight" --------------------------------------------------­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------- Qualifier: I love beaches as much as anyone else who has lived in tropical paradises for a decade. This beach is just A-OK. Just okay. I mean: it's a beach on Coronado island, sure; however, it is merely okay. --------------------------------------------------­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------- My personal experience is the following: I came here to relax. Recline and fucking relax. Hear some sweet sounds emitted from a string instrument and relax. I get so uptight. There is tons of noise pollution though: Helos, Gators®, you name it. There are these boats in the horizon (USN call them ships). This might be the least relaxing beach I have ever been to and I have been to many. Yeah, this is a Navy installation so what should one expect? I don't know. In Hawai'i, it was not such an issue. --------------------------------------------------­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------- So there is the fact that one will more than likely experience all these constant interruptions on one's tranquility while at Breakers Beach so be cognizant and prepared for that. Never thought I would have to bring earpro to a fucking beach nor recommend it; however, I had also never been to Breakers Beach. --------------------------------------------------­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------- Rating: Three-stars, barely ... barely "A-OK" because I am a nice guy that supports the troops. (Never Forget Army beating Navy twenty years ago.) read more

My favorite beach in SD :) Since it's a military beach it feels super secluded, have had some bonfires here and quite a few picnics; if you come at the right time you literally can have the beach to yourself. When it gets dark you can see the lights stretching from coronado all the way past imperial beach right into Mexico. Many military couples also use this as a great setting for a wedding. There is a navy lodge right on the beach and for $100 you can stay right on the water. read more

Went yesterday for the first time. Clean, quiet and great weather. Great waves and friendly people! It's nice being on a private military beach. The facilities have showers, bathrooms, a volleyball net, bonfire pit and even a little event gazebo for weddings, I assume. Plus, you get to see some navy jets off in the distance which is kinda cool! read more

Breakers Beach - Beautiful high tide! - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

Great beach, not too crowded. Parking was really limited and I'm still curious as to why the lifeguard suv path was so dangerously close to where families with small children were setting up camp. That made me extremely nervous. It's a great option for a San Diego beach day. You might have to walk a little ways but there's a nice place to drop off/pick up your beach haul, change clothes, rinse off, and use the potty. read more

I love the privacy and the cleanliness. I think there should be a life guard here but hey can't be perfect just watch your little ones. read more

Breakers Beach - Beaches Near Me - Coronado, California

Great private beach in Coronado if you are blessed to have base access. Nice and open without the crowds. To really appreciate the lack of a crowd, just take out your binoculars and peer over to the main beach which is jam packed with people. We saw dolphins feeding today and that was amazing. The sand is great and there are so many shells available for the kids to see. If you have a family with small children, it is great for them to see our Navy at work. They love to see the ships, helicopters and fighter jets and so do I. Yes, it is a little noisy here and there but after the first few minutes it's just white noise. Plus....if you are military, isn't it all just white noise anyway? It is a bit of a walk to the waters edge but it was no problem for us. And yes, it is BYOE. We will return EVERY time we are in San Diego because we love the beach but we despise the crowds of "regular beaches". read more

I love this beach. Their is always space to lay out on the beach and parking is fantastic. It's never crowded

Nice beach if wanting to avoid big crowds. Rarely ever crowded. Very spacious beach where you aren't close to other ppl on the beach that you don't know. Clean restrooms. read more

Love this beach! It's clean! A lot of available parking. It was clean too. I really enjoyed it. Only problem is your surrounded by navy, but other than that it was a great time! read more

Swim at your own risk. Beautiful beach, but Navy does not want to pay for Lifeguards the majority of the year.

This is my favorite beach in San Diego. Why? Because the sand is fine and soft, there is plenty of room to have privacy, and it feels like a private beach. If you have a pal who is active duty or is a spouse/family member of an active duty member, you can get on to this beach and have a truly relaxing experience. I've been to other beaches in San Diego, and they're fun if you're looking to be in a crowd and don't mind having a ton of people all around. But for that quiet, private time with the waves and the sand, this beach is the place! read more

If you have a military I.d. card or know someone who does this is the place to go. Not a lot of people, its clean and the water is nice. They have a club house located on the beach and the last two times we were there they were setting up for weddings. They also have a brand new navy lodge on the beach that has a swimming pool as well as a little store located inside. You can barbeque on the beach also. Watch the seagulls. In the first 20 minutes we were there they stoled someone's crackers and tried to steal someone's charcoal. They put quite a few holes in the bag. I had to hide it under the people's blanket while they were out swimming. They have also added some nice cottages on the beach as well. It would be a great place to stay if you are one of the lucky ones to score reservations. read more

It's a beautiful clean beach where you great absolutely great views of TJ and Coronado. Only downside, no kites allowed. Sad
