Go to Hotel Del during off times and sit on the huge patio (during the week is the best to avoid crowds). They sometimes have a band (local type) also playing a good selection. Go into the village itself and check out some of the good restaurants and bars. Miguels is a great place for a margarita and dinner.

Owner description:
A mere two-mile drive from cosmopolitan, downtown San Diego, across one of the world's most distinctive bridges, is Coronado Island - a world away. Developed in 1888 as a beach resort town, and home to the famous Hotel del Coronado, the island is blessed with one of the finest beaches in the world and bathed in endless sunshine. Coronado today is a vibrant beach community loaded with charm.

We spent 2 days on the beach behind Hotel Del Coronado and it was the best days we spent. Absolutely stunning beach and views of the ocean. There is a shopping center on the "San Diego" side of the island which is also nice to walk through.

The ferry to Coronado leaves from the waterfront close to the information booth on a regular schedule. The price is under $10 for the return trip. There were live bands and people dancing by the ferry landing. Nice place to do some souvenir shopping and go for lunch, lots of restaurants and food stands.

But, I enjoyed the area where the ships landed and also walked from one side to the other on Orange Street, lots of shops and restaurants and ends at the Hotel. It was awesome to go see a place that holds a place in cinematic history. Beach on the west side was GORGEOUS!

Coronado is over manicured, over developed, over visited, but hard not to like especially when you see the Hotel Del Coronado outlined against the Pacific with it's twinkly lights in the gathering dusk. Tourists love this place. During the summer months, locals tend to stay away because of the crowding and wait for the cooler months to give them back...
