"Coronado Shores Beach, otherwise known as South Beach, is located directly south of the Hotel Del Coronado. It’s also famously the location of USS Monte Carlo shipwreck. The floating gambling casino sank in 1936, and at very, very low tides, it’s possible to walk on its remnants. This beach tends to be less crowded." - coronadobeachweddings.com
