SAN DIEGO, CA
Welcome to Coronado We are a small beach community with an island feel. Incorporated in 1890, Coronado has a rich history and exceptional community assets in a village atmosphere. Surrounded by the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, Coronado offers a unique lifestyle enjoyed by its residents but we have always welcomed visitors from across the bay and around the world. Coronado celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2015. The City’s beginnings include the purchase of the entire peninsula for $110,000 and the sale of parcels to finance the building of the Hotel del Coronado, a Victorian beach hotel that opened in 1888 and epitomizes the beach resort community we are today. Visitors to Coronado find it an idyllic place to swim, sail, surf, bike, run, walk, rollerblade, play tennis, golf or take in a theater production. Coronado beaches are consistently ranked among some of the best in California and the nation, and there are miles of bike paths along the coastline that provide a great way to exercise and enjoy this spectacular scenery. Many locals and visitors enjoy a round of golf in the shadow of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge at the awardwinning and affordable Coronado Municipal Golf Course. There is culture and history galore in Coronado. Enjoy theaters and music venues; also the Coronado Museum run by the Coronado Historical Association and a thriving arts community led by the Coronado Arts Commission. The City Council is committed to preserving our unique residential and business-friendly village atmosphere. We encourage you to browse our website, coronado.ca.us, read our city newsletter, Coronado Currents, and learn more about Coronado.

KNOW CORONADO
History of The Island C
oronado’s intriguing history dates from the very first days of European exploration up the uncharted coast of California. That date was 1542; long before East Coast settlements at St. Augustine, Jamestown, or Plymouth that many say launched American history. Spaniard Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo sailed into San Diego Bay, anchored, surveyed, interacted with local Native Americans, and sought water from Coronado’s abundant springs. Modern-day Coronado began in 1885 with the purchase of a one-time Spanish rancho that spanned Coronado, North Island and the Silver Strand. A small partnership led by Elisha Babcock and Hampton Story purchased all this for a mere $110,000. Their vision was to establish “the grandest hotel on the Pacific coast” set within a master-planned community featuring wide avenues, parklands, handsome public buildings, and attractive beachside residences. Coronado and the Hotel del Coronado would grow together, side by side, for decades — each equally benefiting the other. The beloved “Hotel Del” would become the coast’s largest and grandest hotel while Coronado would develop an uncommon level of charm in the midst of a near-perfect climate. Coronado’s history flourished in multiple dimensions. Early in the 1900s, Coronado’s weather and remote location placed it at the forefront of aviation breakthroughs.

After flying the world’s first seaplane, he convinced the U.S. Navy to establish its first aircraft squadron, making Naval Air Station North Island the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation.” Navy men and women have helped shape the Coronado community over many years but Coronado’s history is also that of picturesque ferries, sailing and yachting, championship sports, revered schools, and an endless variety of historic residences. As a world-famous resort getaway, Coronado has been the destination of presidents and kings, Hollywood stars, and visitors from every corner of the world. It has been an inspiration for L. Frank Baum’s classic “The Wizard of Oz.” But at its core, it is still an easy-going small town with tremendous cultural and historic roots — an enchanting blend that makes Coronado both unique and endlessly attractive.

The CoroNado Life
F
olks in Coronado love their “Nado” life, and who wouldn’t? For starters, this resort town is surrounded by water, amazing beaches and San Diego Bay. You’ll find kids headed for school on beach cruisers — likely with sand still on their toes — and neighbors out for yoga, power walking or some type of water activity. People are friendly and love to meet visitors. This small town with a grand history began with the Hotel del Coronado, as alluring today as when it opened in 1888, but also with movie studios and stars, famous writers, explorers, military heroes and presidents! Not to be overlooked, Coronado is the “Birthplace of Naval Aviation” and the headquarters of the U.S. Navy SEALs, and continues to serve as a training ground for many in our American forces. The town is proud of its military contributions and culture. Streets are lined with historic homes and groomed gardens — a nod to traditions of the past and a life well-lived now. Coronado folks enjoy hosting guests in their homes, on boats or at one of the town’s charming restaurants. There are many other amenities and gathering places — 17 amazing parks, a resort-like community center and boathouse, golf course, tennis center, library and numerous cultural venues; all available to visitors. Summer concerts in Spreckels Park are a local favorite visitors will love. Imagine a casual but sophisticated beach town, steeped in history, big on lifestyle, community and traditions, and you’ll start to catch the vibe the community locals call, “Nado.”

S
ome of the world’s most desirable beaches can be found in Coronado. Dr. Beach ranked Coronado’s Central Beach as the #1 Beach in the United States in 2012. Parents Magazine also named Coronado in its Top 10 U.S. beaches. The miles of silvery sand, rich in mica, glimmer in the sun like diamonds. There are four main beaches — Central Beach, South Beach, Silver Strand State Beach and North Beach. These beaches connect into miles of sand and ocean. Unique to North Beach are bonfire pits, a dog shower and an off-leash area for dogs, called Dog Beach. Central Beach has the main lifeguard tower, a large restroom and shower facility and volleyball courts. South Beach begins just south of the Hotel del Coronado and is adjacent to the Navy SEALs training facility. A portion of South Beach is off limits to the public and is restricted for Navy training. Silver Strand State Beach, which is approximately six miles down the Silver Strand, is one of two locations where overnight camping is allowed with reservations. It features restrooms, showers and lifeguard services. The second camping location is also on the Silver Strand at Fiddler’s Cove, but this facility is restricted to active duty and retired military, and reservations are required. Surfing, kayaking, sailing, paddle-boarding, swimming, sunbathing, exercising and shell collecting are some of the most popular activities on Coronado’s beaches. Additionally, special events take place on the beaches of Coronado, many open to the public.

BELOVED AUTHOR L. Frank Baum, renowned children’s author of “The Wizard of Oz,” spent 10 winter seasons in Coronado and it is widely believed that the island was the inspiration for the Emerald City. Born in New York on May 15, 1856, Baum made his first trip to the Hotel Del in 1904. He found Coronado’s beauty and temperate climate restorative for his health, and declared he did most of his writing while there. Baum was so taken with Coronado he even wrote a poem about it: “Coronado: The Queen of Fairyland.” coronadovisitorcenter.com

MOVIE HOUSE HEYDAY Originally constructed in 1947, the 9,000-square foot art deco style Village Theatre debuted to roaring success with a showing of “Irish Eyes Are Smiling� in Technicolor. For more than 50 years, the theatre was a centerpiece of Coronado, but by 2000, it had fallen into disrepair. After 10 years and millions of dollars from the city and private investors, Vintage Cinemas opened the etched glass doors once again and invited the community back into the beautifully restored theatre. Once an eyesore and now eye candy, the theatre is a stunning example of the great movie houses of yesteryear, updated for audiences of today.

CORONADO THROUGH THE YEARS 1542 Under the Spanish flag, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo lays claim to the port he called San Miguel (now known as San Diego).
1887-1888 Groundbreaking begins for the Hotel del Coronado, the largest resort in the world at this time. It opens 11 months later.
1500-1800s 1769-1846 On July 7, 1769, the Spanish government establishes San Diego, and in 1846, Americans seize control. Ownership of Coronado changes hands repeatedly. 1602 Spanish explorer Sebastian Vizcaino sails past the four rocky islands 17 miles off the San Diego coast and names them Las Yslas Coronadas. He enters the bay and renames the site San Diego de Alcala. His crude map of the bay provided the world with its first picture of Coronado.

North Beach in Coronado has produced many legendary surfers, such as Chuck “Gunker” Quinn and “Mr. Pipeline” John Peck, thanks to its uniquely shaped waves. In the 1960s, the Hotel Del was the site of surf contests with Coronado’s surf club. Surfing continues to be popular in Coronado, and many local surfers continue to rise to international standing.

GOLF

olfing has been a major Coronado pastime since shortly after the Hotel del Coronado was built. In the 1890s, a nine-hole course was established within walking distance of the hotel for use by hotel guests and city residents. That modest beginning of a municipal course tradition in Coronado has now blossomed into one of the most attractive and popular public golf courses on the West Coast. The course measures 6,590 yards from the blue tees and is a par 72. The course has immaculate greens and wide, inviting fairways. Golfing in Coronado features superb vistas of San Diego Bay and Glorietta Bay — relaxing scenes of yachts and sailboats and the best perspective of the dazzling San Diego-Coronado Bridge. The Coronado Golf Course is a tremendous setting that makes every round special, and yet remains true to its original vision as a comfortable, affordable community course, open to both residents and visitors. The Coronado Bayside Grill at the course is open for dining and often rented for special events.

PRACTICALITIES Travel Time Coronado is ideally situated to explore the entire Southern California region with travel times to San Diego International Airport or Santa Fe Train Depot (Amtrak train station in downtown San Diego) of only 15 minutes. A cab ride will cost approximately $30 from the airport. Los Angeles and Disneyland are about two and a half freeway hours north, and the Mexican border just 20 minutes south. Driving Directions to the Coronado Visitor Center To arrive in Coronado, simply take the Interstate 5 freeway to the San DiegoCoronado Bridge on State Route 75. Don’t stop at the toll booth (there’s no

longer a fee to cross the bridge). As soon as you come off the bridge, which turns into Third Street, slow down. The speed limit in Coronado is 25 miles per hour so relax and adjust to Island tempo! You’ll be sharing the road with bicyclists, and even a golf cart or two. Once you get to Orange Avenue, turn left and drive one mile where soon you’ll see the Coronado Visitor Center, located at 1100 Orange Ave., on the right hand side — just where the road begins to curve to the left. Friendly Coronado Ambassadors are there waiting to assist you from 9am-5pm on weekdays and 10am-5pm on weekends.

PRACTICALITIES Parking Parking on residential streets is allowed during the day in most areas. It may take some time to find parking during the summer or during holiday periods, so be prepared. Parking along Ocean Boulevard at Coronado’s Central Beach is free, but spaces fill quickly. RVs under 24 feet in length can park on any street for 72 hours, but cannot be used as a residence. Larger vehicles will need a permit. Parking is available on both sides of Orange Avenue in the shopping district; it’s often easier to find parking on streets east of Orange Avenue. Metered parking is free on Sundays and holidays, and only 25 cents per hour otherwise. CAR-FREE CORONADO Coronado offers superb weather year-round, flat topography and a compact size with easy proximity to shopping and dining. The sidewalks are well-maintained and there is a lot to look at strolling the streets — beautiful gardens and views of water all around. On foot, it’s easy to get to all the businesses on Orange Avenue and the Ferry Landing, as well as the beaches and bays. Coronado was recently ranked a “Walkers Paradise” (with a walkability score of 98 out of 100) at walkscore.com. The island is home to over 15 miles of paved biking and pedestrian paths, including one south along “the Strand” to Imperial Beach. There are bicycle shops throughout Coronado that offer rentals for every budget — from road bikes, electric bikes to tandem bicycles and surreys for families. Beach cruisers are a great way to get around almost everywhere in Coronado. Bicycle maps are available from the rental shops or at the Coronado Visitor Center. Electric carts are becoming a common sight around town and are also available to rent. Check out the Car-Free Coronado page at coronadovisitorcenter.com 0THER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS Public transportation is another inexpensive and easy option for visitors without a car. MTS bus routes 901 and 904 run frequently in two directions along the major thoroughfares in Coronado, with access to San Diego. The 904 bus remains within Coronado, and is free of charge from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The 901 bus travels to adjacent cities and over the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. If you decide to spend a day visiting major San Diego sights, consider traveling between San Diego and Coronado by ferry or water taxi, which arrives and departs from the Coronado Ferry Landing. You can choose to start your San Diego day at Broadway Pier or the Convention Center, where transportation hubs offer plenty of taxis, buses and light-rail trolleys. Buses are equipped with bike racks. Check out coronadovisitorcenter.com for more details about the bus routes and flagshipsd.com for ferry schedules. 82

PRACTICALITIES Family + Fun Coronado is a paradise for families. From its gorgeous beaches perfect for boogie boarding, sand sculpting and swimming to its 15 miles of dedicated flat bike paths, to opportunities for exploring tidepools and pristine marshlands, there is something for all ages to love. Younger children will have fun just playing in the sand or pedaling a “surrey bike” around town, while older kids might want to try their hand at sailing, tennis, paddle-boarding or kayaking. And there’s always the skate park! With family-friendly restaurants and lodging to fit every budget, Coronado offers a laid-back atmosphere that is relaxing for moms, dads and kids alike. Many families return year after year and make Coronado their home away from home. Visiting with Pets Coronado folks love their pets and welcome visitors who bring them along. In fact, several local hotels offer rooms for owners with dogs, and many business establishments offer “yappy hour” and provide water dishes and doggie treats. With so many outdoor dining spots, pets often happily join their owners for an al fresco meal. But there are a few rules. Dogs can enjoy Dog Beach, an off-leash area within North Beach and leashed at Silver Strand State Beach and Glorietta Bay. Always check before booking a reservation or entering any establishment with a pet, as there are different arrangements at different locations. Wag'N Tails offers pet food, supplies and dog washing. The Coronado Ferry only allows service dogs, not pets. MTS buses permit pets to ride in an enclosed container that can be stored under the seats. ACCESSIBILITY Coronado is basically flat. The sidewalks are well maintained, the street curbs are gradually ramped and the street crossing signals have amplified instructions. Buses have either a wheelchair or lift ramp and can “kneel” to make boarding easier. The Coronado lifeguards offer beach wheelchairs with big wheels that work well in the sand and allow access to the beach — just stop by the main lifeguard tower at Central Beach and request one. The MTS bus system and the Ferry are wheelchair accessible. 84
