Breakers Beach

I like this beach, just for the meare fact that it is not crowded. And, that’s about it. The beach itself is not that special. There is so much sea weed, that your feet get lost and you can’t see anything below your knees. The sand is rough and dirty… not exactly tempting to create a sand castle. The water looks dirty as well. Overall, you would come here because you know someone who works on the Naval Base or you’re married to them. A civilian would not be able to visit on their own.
Basically, you’re not missing out if you don’t get to visit.

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.)

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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!

This is a great beach to go to if you hate the crowd.
PROS:
–It’s empty is the morning time till about 3pm.
–This part of the beach is for anyone that can get on a military base.
–Great view of the cliff and the cities at the same time!
–Smooth & soft sand.
–There’s gold glitter in the water!!!
–Tan friendly beach (I didn’t have to worry about my imperfect body)
CONS:
–I’m a foodie so if they had some kind of food stand it would be a 5 star.
–Only reserved for those who can get on military bases or know someone who can get them in.
–Life guard towers were closed.
I’d be back here over and over again, even in the winter! CA never gets too cold. =)

Sand, water, waves, no lifegaurd, and almost no people. Nice

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!

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!
