About This Spot
Shipwrecks is the stretch of Coronado Beach near the visible remains of the SS Monte Carlo. This exposed beach break can deliver peaky lefts and rights during south-west swells and is generally more mellow than neighboring peaks. Be aware of deep holes and strong currents around the wreck, and avoid climbing on the slippery, rusting metal.
Local Etiquette
Stay off the wreck; heed lifeguard warnings and keep a safe distance from swimmers.
