Bay Island Beach City
Welcome to Coronado, a San Diego County beach city on a tied island across San Diego Bay, home to the Hotel del Coronado and Naval Air Station North Island.
Coronado is a beach city in San Diego County, California, occupying a tied island that sits across San Diego Bay from downtown San Diego. The city was founded in the 1880s and incorporated in 1890, making it one of the region's oldest seaside communities. It is connected to the mainland by the Coronado Bridge, an iconic span that arches over the bay, and by the Silver Strand, a narrow isthmus carrying State Route 75 south toward Imperial Beach. The city is best known for the Hotel del Coronado, a National Historic Landmark and one of America's most celebrated seaside resorts, and for Coronado Beach, a wide, family-friendly shoreline consistently regarded among the nation's finest. The presence of Naval Air Station North Island and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado gives the community a strong military character, with a significant share of residents connected to the Navy. Coronado's neighborhoods range from the walkable, historic Village around Orange Avenue to the Coronado Cays, a waterfront community on the bay side, and the Coronado Shores condominium towers along the beach. Public education is provided by the Coronado Unified School District, a small, well-regarded district serving the island. Life in Coronado is defined by its beach-town atmosphere, bike-friendly streets, and the proximity of downtown San Diego across the bay. The Coronado Ferry Landing offers harbor views and ferry service, and Silver Strand State Beach extends recreation south of the city. Its location across the bay from a major downtown, combined with an island's sense of separation, makes Coronado both convenient and distinctly set apart, one of Southern California's most recognizable coastal addresses.
