Silver Strand
Lined by both the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay, Silver Strand is one of the top spots for recreation in Coronado. Come swim, surf, waterski or play volleyball on the three mile-long sandy beach. Or grab your fishing tackle and angle for perch, corbina and yellow-fin croaker!
San Diego Bay
A natural deep water harbor, San Diego Bay is one of the best ports on the West coast. Though Pearl Harbor became the primary (and subsequently famous) naval base, San Diego Bay still holds a special place in naval history as the birthplace of the seaplane. While you're in the area, why not stop in at the sublime Maritime Museum of San Diego?
Coronado Islands
In 1542 Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo described these atmospheric isles as 'deserted'. They still are, except for the lighthouse-keepers. Located only eight miles from Mexico, they are a haven for wildlife of all kinds, and elephant seals, sea lions and sea otters live happily on Middle Island. Come and watch them play in the surf!
Naval Base Coronado
The largest base in the Southwest United States, this base encompasses eight military facilities, 57,000 acres, and accounts for nearly a third of San Diego County's total workforce. The community is understandably oriented around the base, which offers a huge number of services and benefits for its employees.
Coronado Museum of History and Art
The history and heritage of Coronado are brought to life at this educational center, where you can discover 1880s newspapers, a treasure trove of historical photographs, vintage garments and much more. A vibrant events program includes Wine and Lecture events at the Museum and Walking Tours through Coronado's landmarks.
