Check EventsIt depends on the UV index and your skin. Our conditions page converts today's hourly UV forecast at Coronado Beach into minutes to burn using the standard erythemal dose model, so instead of "UV 9" you get "unprotected fair skin burns in about 18 minutes", along with the strongest stretch of the day and when to reapply. Open sand and water reflect UV back at you, so the estimate includes a beach uplift.
Check Today's Burn TimeIt depends where on the beach. Dogs are banned everywhere on Coronado Beach except Dog Beach, the sand at the north end between the main lifeguard tower and the Naval Air Station North Island fence. Dogs may be off leash on that designated sand but must be leashed everywhere before it. Service animals are exempt.
