Coronado

When people think of Coronado, most people think of the famous Hotel Del Coronado, where the 1959 movie “Some Like It Hot” was filmed starring Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemon.  Hotel del Coronado (also known as The Del and Hotel Del) is a beachfront luxury hotel in the city of Coronado, just across the San Diego Bay from Downtown San Diego.  Even though visitors travel from around the world to stay here, locals take advantage of the beautiful beaches and excellent dining choices.
 
Coronado, also known as Coronado Island, is an affluent resort city. Coronado Island is on a peninsula between the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean near Downtown San Diego. It can be accessed by ferry from downtown or by car or any public transportation via the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge.  You can also drive The Silver Stand which connects Coronado and Imperial Beach and get to the island the “back way”.  

Every day of the year, you’ll see people on the very scenic Strand, either walking, running or riding bikes. This 10-mile stretch is very popular amongst the locals who live on the island as well as San Diegans who travel across the bay just to take advantage of this path.
