Enjoy the charm of Coronado! Coronado is Spanish for "the crowned one", and thusly it is nicknamed The Crowned City. It is also nicknamed The Tent City referring to tourists' tents that once lined Coronado beach during the summer vacation season.
Coronado Island is located just Southwest of Downtown across the Coronado Bridge or traveled by Ferry from The Landing. It is a peninsula connected to the mainland by several miles of a long strip called The Silver Strand. Locals often refer to it as Coronado Island and they denote the core living and business area as The Village. The military base on Coronado is named North Island.
Coronado boasts five star resort like seclusion from the rest of San Diego. Relax at one of the town's many resorts, B & B's or Day Spa's or dine out at one of the many fine restaurants Coronado has to offer. It is home to the world famous Hotel Del Coronado which was built in 1888 and long considered one of the world's top resorts. It's the perfect place to swim, sail, surf, bike, run walk, roller blade, play tennis, play golf, take a tour, or soak up some of San Diego's summer sun in your backyard! Take the strand pathway all the way down the 75 Highway South to Imperial Beach and surround yourself with the breezes of the ocean and the bay.
