About
Gator Beach, nestled in the heart of Coronado, California, offers a sandy beach-break that caters to both right and left-handers. The waves, which begin to dance at 3 to 5 feet, can hold strong up to a towering 16 feet, powered by swells from the west and southwest. With barrel-like waves and an inviting ocean bottom, it welcomes surfers of all skill levels at any tide, thriving on the rising and falling movements. On a clear day, with light winds from the west, the surf here becomes a canvas for those who seek the thrill of the ride.
