Coronado Travel Guide

 14 Reviews  It would be a shame to visit Coronado without seeing Hotel del Coronado. . This world class hotel is one of the oldest and largest all-wooden buildings in California. When it opened in 1888, it was the largest resort hotel in the world and the first to use electrical lighting. It is designated a... 

 9 Reviews  A picturesque beach, complete with bolders, ice plants and white sand. Friendly people will welcome you in their volleyball or soccer games. This is not a water sports beach, so not much surfing, except at the south end near the Hotel del, but boogie boards are okay. Most people come here to sun... 

 6 Reviews  Shops of all kinds, places to drink and eat, from cafe mocha to fine dining, wading in the bay,picnicking on the grass or sand, listening to the sounds of local musicians, all this is offered at the Ferrylanding Market Place. This is a rather touristy place I admit. Get off the Ferry and you're...

 4 Reviews  On the Sun Deck at the Hotel Del Coronado, umbrella covered tables and chairs are available for resting, having a drink ordered at the bar or to take a meal of hamburgers / hotdogs while enjoying an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the nicest places to spend time in the California... 

 2 Reviews  The newest place (No longer the newest.) at the Ferry Landing Market Place and though I haven't eaten there yet, I've heard good reviews of this place. I have, however, eaten at the Il Fornaio's In Del Mar and liked it very much. Update: I have eaten here, several times now and can tell you that... 

 5 Reviews  Another way of getting around Coronado is by engaging the services of a taxi or limousine. It could be expensive but may people who vacation here can afford it and like door-to-door service. This is President Bill Clinton's chosen mode of transportation while he stayed with friends--who owned the... 

 4 Reviews  I noticed that there is a little different dress code in Coronado at least inside and around Hotel del Coronado : more elegant, stylish, fashionable I could say. Surely there are people just in jeans and T-shirt but... enlarge my picture :-).  

 3 Reviews  Coronado is probably one of the safest cities in the world. The biggest danger is the sun and surf. Especially during the early months of summer when we have what is called May Grey or June Gloom in the mornings until, usually after noon time there is danger of burning. Even those days that seem... 

 3 Reviews  Orange Avenue ends at a nice little park with a view across the Bay of the SD skyline. However, a little known fact, even to San Diegans, is that there are small plots of land between the homes on the bayside of First Street in Coronado, just west of this larger park, where mini-parks with similar... 

 2 Reviews  Hitting a small furry ball back and forth over a waist high net causing the opponent to run all over the place trying to catch the ball in the racket and hit the ball back. Update: The tennis courts have given way to a lovely park area with promenade. However, The Hotel Del offers boating,... 

 2 Reviews  The Ferry Landing Market Place as it is now, was developed late in Coronado's history. In the late 1960's when I worked at North Island, I would drive my car onto the Coronado Ferry and we'd both float across the Bay into Coronado. In 1969 The Coronado Bridge was built and the Ferry boats were...
