Visit Coronado Island, California

Add to My List Check Off

Only a few minutes from the bustling city center of San Diego, Coronado Island considers itself “a world away” with its relaxed beach town personality and near perfect weather. Home to a historic world class hotel, one of the best beaches in the world, an 18 hole golf course and a host of water oriented activities, Coronado Island would be a worthy destination of its own accord but the convenient access to the myriad attractions of San Diego makes it a can’t miss destination for a quick get-away or a well-deserved multi-week holiday. Besides the family oriented, white sandy beach that was named the top beach in the USA by “Dr. Beach” for 2012, visitors to Coronado Island enjoy walking tours of the island and its quaint downtown area or the alternative of renting a Segway to silently save energy for the evening activities. In addition to the historic Hotel del Coronado, a sprawling Victorian ocean front hotel first opened in 1888, tourists flock to the Coronado Island Museum, shop at Ferry Landing Marketplace, relax on Gondola cruises through the canals Coronado Cays, pilot bicycles along the more than 15 miles of scenic bike paths and venture back and forth from the uber-busy San Diego downtown area aboard the San Diego Trolley providing access to multiple attractions in the city, including the world famous San Diego Zoo. In addition to quality hotels in Coronado proper, camping in self-contained vehicles is allowed at Silver Strand State Beach just south of Coronado on the spit that connects the “island” to San Diego’s Imperial Beach. As an add-on to your trip of a lifetime to San Diego or as its own worthy destination consider including Visit Coronado Island on your bucket list. Spend your days touring the island and all of its charm with the occasional jaunt into the city with its legendary offering of attractions and you’ll certainly have lasting memories you will want to share with your family and friends.
