Dr. Beach - Top 10 beaches of 2012

1. Coronado Beach San Diego, Calif. 'Coronado Beach in San Diego is a 1 1/2- mile long, wide sandy beach set against the backdrop of the iconic Hotel del Coronado with its peaked red roof and classic Victorian architecture,' Leatherman said. 'The beach is popular for swimmers, surfers, sunbathers and beachcombers. The beach is very flat, making it great for skim boarding and walking, and the sand has a silvery sheen because of the presence of mica. Families arrive in the morning, toting umbrellas, beach towels and picnic coolers for an all-day stay. A great team of lifeguards stands watch.'
