View atop of the Hotel del Coronado

Separated from downtown by the impressive Coronado Bay Bridge, Coronado is an upscale "island" which has a small-town feel with an uptown price tag. For over a hundred years, Coronado has been the area's premier resort destination, home to Le Meridian Resort and the legendary Hotel Del Coronado. The town itself is peaceful and idyllic, complete with sidewalk cafes, theaters and tree-lined streets of Victorian homes and California bungalows. Much of Coronado is occupied by the North Island Naval Air Station and the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base. The Old Ferry Landing serves up bayside shopping and dining, as well as a magnificent view of downtown San Diego.
