Coronado: San Diego's Crown Jewel

Located just above the bay from San Diego's Downtown is Coronado, a coastal town that feel far away from the city. Nicknamed "The Crown City" (a nod to its Spanish name), Coronado has been celebrated for its enduring appeal, sun-drenched beaches, and the iconic red-tiled Hotel del Coronado for decades.

 

Coastal Beauty & Easygoing Lifestyle

Coronado beaches share some of the nation's most stunning beaches, with soft white sand and peaceful surf ideal for a dip, a sunbath, or a relaxing walk. From biking the Silver Strand, paddle boarding in the bay, or merely sitting back over a golden sunset on the Pacific, living is one based deep in outdoor living and coastal tranquility.

 

A Mélange of History & Contemporary Living

Of Coronado's most notable landmarks is the iconic Hotel del Coronado, a Victorian masterpiece that dates back to 1888 and has hosted presidents, royalty, and celebrities alike. Through town, there are quaint tree-lined streets, beautifully preserved historic homes, and boutiques, cafes, and restaurants blending together to make the village feel small-town. But Coronado also has amenities, top-notch schools, and a close community—making it as functional as it is beautiful.

 

A Simple Island Getaway

Even though it's a getaway, Coronado is merely a short drive over the Coronado Bridge or picturesque ferry ride from downtown San Diego. The residents enjoy the best of both worlds: the serene pace of island life along with convenient access to the city's culture, restaurants, and business opportunities.
