Coronado- The must-see California island escape
"Wow! Where does THAT go?" I hear it again and again when I'm traveling with someone in San Diego who has never seen the amazing 11,179-foot-long bridge spanning from San Diego to Coronado Island. I think to myself, "if you think the bridge is impressive, just wait until you see Coronado."
Coronado Island is a charming and beautiful, immaculately clean beach town just minutes from the city of San Diego. It has been made famous by the Hotel Del Coronado known as one of Americaís most beautiful beach resorts and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1977. The dining, shopping and white-sand beaches have made this island a must-see destination for tourists and a favorite for locals.
The best way to see Coronado Island is by ferry. San Diego harbor excursion offers ferry rides from Broadway Pier or the San Diego Convention Center to Coronado. The fifteen minute boat ride takes you on a beautiful ride with views of the San Diego skyline. You arrive at the Ferry Landing, a destination in itself. The Ferry Landing is a charming collection of shops, art galleries, fine restaurants and casual eateries surrounded by palm trees, waterfalls and Coronado's best skyline view of downtown San Diego.
Visitors will enjoy the many specialty shops and eateries. There is something for everyone for every budget and every occasion.
Enjoy exquisite fine dining at one of three fine dining establishments. At the Ferry Landing, guests can also rent a bicycle or surrey and pedal along winding waterfront bike paths.
Another attraction on Coronado Island are the beautiful beaches. Whether you are looking for tidepools to explore, a place for your dog to play, or somewhere secluded to catch some rays, you will find a perfect beach for any occasion.
