Coronado Central Beach, San Diego
This 2-mile stretch of beach -- just over the bridge from downtown San Diego -- has everything families could want: perfect weather (it rarely rains in the summer), spotless white sand (the town even invented an environmentally-friendly rake to clean up the kelp), and warm, gentle water. Plus, there's no smoking allowed on this beach -- or any in California. Tide pools filled with sea creatures form in front of the famous Hotel del Coronado, where you cool off with a cone at MooTime Creamery.
Spend the Night
The only resort along this stretch of sand, the Victorian-style Hotel del Coronado offers family s'mores nights, a drop-off kids' program for 4- to 12-year-olds, and babysitting. (Summer rates in June start at $296 per night for a room that sleeps four when you mention promo code PARENTS; hoteldel.com.) A lower-cost resort: Ten minutes away, the Loews Coronado Bay has a kids' club plus Baby Loves Disco parties, loaner baby equipment, and kids' cooking classes. (Summer rates at the Loews begin at $209 per night for a room that sleeps four; loewshotels.com
