Coronado is a quaint little beach and bayside town that feels like a dream. As soon as you get off the Coronado Bridge from San Diego you feel like you’ve stepped back in time fifty years. Stroll along the shops, galleries and restaurants on Orange Avenue, head down to the Landing for shopping and a meal, take the ferry ride over to Seaport Village, or spend the day at the beach in front of the world famous Hotel Del Coronado built in 1887 and opened in 1888. Unless I’m mistaken it’s the largest all wooden structure west of the Mississippi River. There are many great hotels and resorts to stay at though are favorites are the Hotel Del and the Glorrieta Bay Inn right across the street. Watch for Art in the Park, shows at the Lambs Player Theatre, and other special events and activities during holidays and weekends. La Jolla, SeaWorld, Old Town and the zoo are all thirty minutes or less from Coronado so it’s a great place to set up for a visit to San Diego. Enjoy!!

I love Coronado Island and the Del section of the city. The beach is great. The Del has finished the entry, front porch and lobby area of their renovations. However, the rest of the Victorian section is under construction and covered with scaffolding and coverings. It is due to be done Spring of 2024. There is a new three story hotel with rooftop bar going up across the street.

Don't miss this gorgeous spot in San Diego. We walked along the path by the hotel and surrounding areas. The vegetation was amazing, the hotel a beautiful grand lady (don't miss going inside the lobby - it will take you back in time). However, I'm not sure I would recommend swimming at the beach there due to the sewage issues from Mexico that have recently plagued the area.

We love coming here. They have a beautiful beach that is very clean and spacious, and there are lots of shops, eateries, and good restaurants. They also have the famous Hotel del Coronado, which looks like a palace. The streets are congested, and traffic is usually bad, but it's not too far to get from place to place. They have an amazing taco stand just near the hotel at the beach. The Sheerwater restaurant and Spreckles Sweets shop are fantastic. If you enjoy Mexican food, then check out Miguel's. Great atmosphere and good food. Overall, this is one for the bucket list. We loved coming here and relaxing.

I took Lyft across the bridge and took the ferry back. Definitely recommend the ferry for much better views of Coronado and the San Diego cityscape during your ride. The 'island' was nice. Several shops and eateries as well as a small beach near the ferry landing.

We just love Coronado Island. There are so many fantastic restaurants and shops, though some are pretty pricey. However, it is easy to get around, and the ferry to the mainland is very convenient. We walked a lot and it is so easy to find one's way around. Highly recommended to visit

We met our don and 4 year old grandson in SanDiego. We spent one afternoon on Coronado Island and loved it. We walked on the beach and had lunch at a darling Mexican restaurant. We all loved the island and it is on the top of our list for our next visit.

We hadn’t been back to Coronado since 2019. There were so many fun things that we enjoy visiting that are still there. Moo Time, Burger Lounge, the adorable movie theatre, etc. We were sad to see La Salsa didn’t make it through Covid. Lots of changes happening/happened at Hotel Del Coronado. The Garage was new to us & fantastic. If you want to visit Balboa Park/zoo it’s just a quick ride over the bridge. The best thing is you can pretty much walk everywhere. There are bikes to rent if you want to go that route. We were sad to see you cannot swim in the ocean right now due to sewage contamination.
