One of the most gorgeous residential areas is near the ocean. Old & new homes. Park your car & walk around (city buses are available that go to downtown San Diego, which is across the Bay). The beach is beautiful, of course. Don't forget to go into historic Hotel Coronado, near the beach downtown. Public is welcome to visit the shops, dining room & grounds. This is were old Hollywood vacationed & filmed " Some Like It Hot," with Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis. The Coronado Bridge is impressively long & pretty. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the Coronado Bridge. Easy to find.

 Historic Hotel del Coronado by basstbn
Note - the city of Coronado shares this "island" with a naval air station, and traffic can get really hectic at shift changes. You will get accustomed to aircraft flying overhead at low altitudes.

Visiting Coronado is a perfectly pleasant daytrip from San Diego, I wouldn't say it was the top place that I visited while in San Diego but the ferry ride was pleasant and the Hotel Coronado is a fabulous old hotel with a lot of history.
To get to Coronado, I took the trolley to the Sante Fe station, walked about 5 minutes and hopped on the ferry ($3 each way). Once the ferry landed at the Coronado dock, I walked out to the street outside the shopping area and found the #904 bus that takes you to the Hotel Coronado. I really had no idea of how far it was but I certainly was glad I found the bus since the bus ride was at least 15 minutes. The buses here were included with my 1 day MTS pass ($5 US). The bus schedule coordinates with the ferry schedule making it a very convenient way to get to the center of Coronado. Once I spotted the Hotel Coronado, I hopped off the bus, went for a stroll on the beach and wandered through the grand old hotel.
I'm sure there's a lot more to Coronado than the Hotel Coronado but I had places to go and food to eat so I headed back to the bus for the ferry ride back to San Diego. Leave a Comment

The offshore island Coronado has a very flat, fairly protected beach with some of the safest and warmest water on the California coast without having any pollution problem.
Coronado Central Beach is ranked among the best in the country, recently rated the second best beach in the United States. The beach is very wide, flat and clean. In summer and on weekends it is a very crowded, full of restaurants, bars, clothing shops and fun.
Near the wide expanses of sandy beach there is also an area of rocky shore, the so called tide pool offers a chance to see crabs, starfish, mussels, anemones, limpets and moon snails.
The weather is almost always perfect for spending time here. It is hot enough to enjoy the relatively warm ocean water with such activities as surfing and swimming. And yet it is not excessively hot so you may also be comfortable just lying in the sun with a good book and a few snacks. Many visitors return here year after year.
On the end of the beach is the historic building of the pricey Hotel del Coronado, which was the film site for the Marilyn Monroe movie “Some Like it Hot.” This was built in 1888 and one of the biggest wooden buildings in the US and has even a haunted room!! . Address: Coronado islandDirections: From FWY 5 take the Coronado Bridge and follow toward the Hotel Del Coronado. Runs along Ocean Boulevard, between the Hotel and the North Island Naval Air Station Open: 4am to 11pm.Website: http://www.ecoronado.com/page/coronado-island-beaches

Coronado is a militar and residential area. One of the best spots is Hotel del Coronado, where all the US presidents stay when traveling to San Diego. Also this hotel was the protagonist of many films and its walls remain the pictures. Take a walk inside the hotel (no cover at all). Leave a Comment
