About the Tower
Oceanfront on the sand
Completed in 1976 as the sixth high-rise to join the Coronado Shores community, La Playa Tower delivers a true oceanfront experience in one of Southern California’s most coveted coastal settings. The fifteen-story building stands directly along the shoreline, placing residents just steps from the sand and within an easy walk of the community’s pools, clubhouse, and scenic beachfront pathways. It’s a setting that puts the water at the center of everyday life.
What sets La Playa apart is the breadth of its views. Residences facing west open onto dramatic stretches of the Pacific, where rolling waves, evening sunsets, and an endless horizon form a backdrop that never looks the same twice. Homes oriented to the east are no less striking, framing San Diego Bay, Glorietta Bay, the graceful span of the Coronado Bridge, and the downtown skyline beyond. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass and generous private balconies make the most of every angle, drawing natural light and the calm of the coast deep into each home.
With direct access to the beach, welcoming common areas, and the easy sophistication Coronado Shores is known for, La Playa pairs genuine luxury with a relaxed seaside rhythm. The community sits just south of the historic Hotel del Coronado, a short stroll from oceanfront dining, boutique shopping, and the charm of Coronado Village, while downtown San Diego and the international airport wait just across the bridge. Whether it becomes a full-time home or a refined coastal retreat, La Playa offers the rare blend of beachfront calm and effortless access that makes Coronado Shores condos some of the most sought-after real estate on the West Coast.
The Residences
Designed around the view
Each of the fifteen floors holds nine residences, offered across one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts to suit a range of lifestyles. The interiors are designed around the setting: walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, open and airy living spaces, and private balconies that frame the ocean, the bay, and the skyline. Whether you’re settling in as a full-time resident or keeping a lock-and-leave coastal getaway, La Playa delivers the quintessential Coronado Shores experience — direct beachfront access, sweeping vistas, and an authentic seaside way of life in one of California’s most coveted communities.
