    If History and Art are not your thing than a trip to this building can serve you in a different way. Also housed here is the Coronado Visitors Center.

    If you have the time, before arriving in Coronado, go to the Visitors Center website and request a brochure that may help you decide what you'd like to see or do while staying in Coronado.

    During the summer, the city offers, "Concerts In The Park" and the schedule for these concerts can be found at this website.

    The Concert Series usually runs June through mid-September on Sunday evenings, starting at 6:00 pm in Spreckels Park which is located on the corner of Seventh Street and Orange Avenue. It is open to the public and is free.

    If you recognize this building from the above tip, it is because both the History and Art Museum and the Visitor Center are located here.

    Traveling often includes some time spent on learning what makes a specific destination unique.

    In Coronado this can be done at the Museum of History and Art. The city's buildings aren't as old as those found in Europe, but the facts telling the story of Coronado's creation and rise, from the early seventeenth century to the present, are alive with bits of cultural history, like the tent city that attracted people here during the summer. The story of Coronado tells about young entrepreneurs, like Babcock, Story and later on, Spreckels, who came here with a vision and helped create this lovely resort town. War time stories, Royal love stories, even movie star stories are told through old photographs and other displays.

    Strolling down Orange Avenue, the main street in Coronado, and you'll find many interesting places along the way. Antique shops, great restaurants, some interesting architecture and plenty clothing stores, offering anything from beach wear to designer creations of the seaon.

    Orange Avenue is the main street of Coronado which runs from the south end of the city to the north end and stops at the San Diego Bay.

    At the south end you'll find the Hotel Del. Turn west just north of the Hotel and the road will lead you along the sandy beach of the Pacific Ocean. Just south of the Hotel, turn east and the road will lead you along Glorietta, a residential street that skirts the old and sometimes elegant mansions built in the early days as well as the golf course situated at the Glorietta Cove area of the San Diego Bay.
