Top 5 Reasons to “Summer” in Coronado

Coronado Beach is consistently ranked among the best beaches in America.
Its wide, sparkling sands (thanks to the mica mineral that gives it a golden shimmer), gentle waves, and family-friendly vibe make it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and sandcastle building.
For dog lovers, North Beach (Dog Beach) offers a fantastic off-leash area right by the ocean.

The Hotel del Coronado, a National Historic Landmark, is an icon of coastal California luxury.
You can enjoy beachfront dining, spa treatments, rooftop cocktails, and even summer movies on the beach.
Its classic Victorian architecture and celebrity history (Marilyn Monroe filmed Some Like It Hot here!) add timeless charm.

Coronado is perfect for biking — the entire island is flat, scenic, and covered with bike paths.
Rent a bike or surrey and cruise along the Silver Strand or around Glorietta Bay.
Kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing are also popular ways to explore the calm waters.

Summer temperatures hover around the mid-70s°F (mid-20s°C) — ideal beach weather without the extreme heat.
The sunsets over the Pacific are spectacular, especially viewed from the Hotel Del’s beach bar or the Ferry Landing.

Coronado feels like a quaint island village — with boutique shops, tree-lined streets, and charming cafés.
Yet it’s just a 10-minute drive or ferry ride to downtown San Diego, giving you easy access to top attractions like Balboa Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the San Diego Zoo. This proximity not only enhances the convenience of urban amenities but also allows for a seamless blend of coastal living and cultural experiences. Residents can indulge in the vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options that downtown offers, all while enjoying the peace and tranquility of their suburban surroundings. Furthermore, the accessibility of public transportation and major highways facilitates hassle-free commutes for both work and leisure activities.
