Movies on Del Beach is Back and the 2026 Lineup is Massive

There’s something about watching a movie on the beach that just hits differently. The sound of the ocean in the background and a cool breeze rolling in off the water set the scene. Additionally, a great film lights up the screen. It’s the kind of night that stays with you.

Movies on Del Beach at Hotel del Coronado is back with a packed schedule, and the lineup covers pretty much every mood you could be in.

A Schedule That Has Something for Everyone

Whether you’re into classics, crowd-pleasers, or family favorites, there’s a night on this calendar with your name on it. We’re talking everything from “Jurassic Park” and “The Goonies” to “Barbie,” “Hocus Pocus,” and “Top Gun: Maverick” closing out the year on New Year’s Eve.

The summer stretch is particularly stacked, with films like “Back to the Future,” “Iron Man,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and “The Incredibles” all making appearances. Fall leans into spooky season with a solid run of Halloween picks – “Ghostbusters,” “Beetlejuice,” “Hocus Pocus,” and more.

Two Ways to Watch

Keep it simple with a sand chair at $25.75 per person, or step things up with one of two bonfire packages – both include a beach bonfire, unlimited s’mores, and tickets for up to six people. The difference is that the premium option also adds a Del Beach daybed for an even more relaxed setup.

All three options put you right on Del Beach with the ocean as your backdrop. It’s just a matter of how comfortable you want to get.

The Schedule Gets Festive Toward the End of the Year

The lineup doesn’t wind down as the year does – it gets into the holiday spirit in a big way. November and December bring a wave of classics including “Elf” (showing three times, which feels right), “The Polar Express,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”

Then “Top Gun: Maverick” closes things out on New Year’s Eve on the beach – a pretty hard-to-beat way to ring in 2027.

See you there!

Check the full schedule and grab your tickets early. The popular dates tend to fill up fast, and the sand chairs go quickly.
