Beautiful beaches and near perfect year-round weather make Coronado Island a favorite southern California destination. Posing as an island one mile from downtown San Diego, the 'Crown City' is actually a peninsula, connected to the mainland by a thin strip of land to the south.
Get here by way of ferry or the well-traveled San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Family-friendly resorts, a quaint downtown area and five beautiful beaches are great for families looking to relax and spend time together on the Pacific Ocean.
Besides five beaches with tide pools and great views of the sunset, check out Ferry Landing Marketplace and downtown Orange Avenue for dining and shopping. Grab the family and hop on the Old Town Trolley to get to nearby San Diego attractions, like the world famous zoo.
Coronado is also home to the Naval Amphibious Base and the North Island Naval Air Station, so the area is very military friendly.' Excerpt from Fine Living magazine.
